look for items in icon folder

[Kingdom Ablaze]

is there a way you can find all the items in a folder? im asking because im working on my interactive world map script(editor) and that would help me so much!

im trying to make it so you can click a left or right button to cycle through all the possible icons for the town graphic atm.

dir = 'Graphics/Icons/'

# Get all Files in that directory

all_files = Dir.glob(dir + '*')

# Get only the PNG files

pngs = Dir.glob(dir + '*.png')

This method does not work, when the folder is encrypted to the Game.rgssad!

If you don't know, the * means "everything".

the editor shouldnt be running when the game is encrypted so this shouldnt be an issues i think..when i get home ill try the code. thanks

ok so i finally looked at the code(forgot about this till i needed the code) and i cant get it to give me any useful info i can use. this sets the directory yes? i need to be able to pull all the graphics and draw them to the screen. any advice?


edit: after googleing it, i found zeriabs old page, and this solution:
[rgss]@files = Dir["Graphics/Icons/Towns/*"]
@files.each {|s| s.gsub!(/\.[^\.]*$|[^\/]*\//) {|str| ""}}
[/rgss]

its what im gonna use for now, but if you have any comments on this let me know

@files = Dir.glob('Graphics/Icons/Towns/*').find_all do |f| 

 ext = File.extname(f)

 ext == '.png' or ext == '.jpg' or ext == '.bmp' or ext == '.jpeg'

end

@bitmaps = @files.collect {|i| Bitmap.new(i)}

This should give you an Array of the filenames and an Array of the Bitmaps. But since you already solved it, I guess it doesnt matter.

I guess that you're trying to get rid of the file extension. If so, this is the easiest way to do it. It's pretty similar to the one you proposed, Plague.

[rgss]@files = Dir["Graphics/Icons/Towns/*"]
@files.each {|s| s.gsub!(/\.[\w]+/, '')
[/rgss]
