Reading files from a folder(s) ...where to start learning?

[Eyetoof]

Where should I start if I want to learn about writing my program to look into a folder, and any/all of it’s subfolders, understanding whats there and then doing stuff with the files?

I am working with a program where I draw images from an array. The Array is currently all coded by hand with specific image files for testing and that works just fine.

Now I want to make it so I can easily make new art, Put that as a folder inside my “content” tree and have the art load when I launch the sketch again.

Thanks!

Really simple example: “This is the full file name and I only want to get JUST THIS PIECE of information…
