Get the contents of a Application Server directory

abapdirectory-listing

I need to get a listing of a server-side directory inside SAP. How do I achieve this in ABAP? Are there any built-in SAP functions I can call?

Ideally I want a function which I can pass a path as input, and which will return a list of filenames in an internal table.

EPS2_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING does the same thing as EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING BUT retunrs the file names up to 200 chars!

Javascript – How to get a list of the names of all files present in a directory in Node.js

You can use the fs.readdir or fs.readdirSync methods. fs is included in Node.js core, so there's no need to install anything.

fs.readdir

const testFolder = './tests/';
const fs = require('fs');

fs.readdir(testFolder, (err, files) => {
  files.forEach(file => {
    console.log(file);
  });
});

fs.readdirSync

const testFolder = './tests/';
const fs = require('fs');

fs.readdirSync(testFolder).forEach(file => {
  console.log(file);
});

The difference between the two methods, is that the first one is asynchronous, so you have to provide a callback function that will be executed when the read process ends.

The second is synchronous, it will return the file name array, but it will stop any further execution of your code until the read process ends.
