How do you iterate all files with a specified suffix under a folder?

[flyisland]

let base_dir="/tmp"

let zip_files = $ls {base_dir}/*.zip$ failed {
    echo "It seems that the '{base_dir}' does not exist"
}
loop file in zip_files {
    echo "Extracting {file}"
}

amber ./test.ab
ERROR
Expected iterable
at ./shp2gpkg.ab:6:14

5| }
6| loop file in zip_files {
7| echo "Extracting {file}"

Well I am also trying to do a similar thing

@flyisland @firatkucuk You can use the experimental standard library function to get lines out of the output. The standard library will be documented soon once we make sure it's stable enough. It should be ready in under a month.

Here is a minimal example:

import { lines } from "std"

loop index, file in lines(unsafe $ls -a$) {
    echo "{index}: {file}"
}

Here is the updated version of this code:

import { lines } from "std"

let base_dir="/tmp"

let zip_files = $ls {base_dir}/*.zip$ failed {
    echo "It seems that the '{base_dir}' does not exist"
}
loop file in lines(zip_files) {
    echo "Extracting {file}"
}

thanks, it works now!
