Re: Directory Listing

["R. Srinivasan" <r.srinivasan@cox.net>]

apart from all the splendid ideas, i suggest you also take a look at the
package gnat.command_line and in particular procedures related to filename
expansion.

if you need an example, i have a sample program "findfiles" that is a cheap
find (the unix util) in ada heavily relying on gnat packages mentioned -
please contact me by email.
