This function returns a list of all directories that are found under the directory path. It is similar to scanDir but returns directories only.
Syntax
table translator:getDirs ( string dirPath, bool recursive )
Arguments
- dirPath: a path to the directory the scan shall take place or start in
- recursive: a boolean that specifies whether the whole directory tree at dirPath should be included into the scan
Returns
This function returns a table of all matching directory entries for the performed scan. It returns false if dirPath is not a valid directory target for the translator.

ClientThis snippet is yet another alternative to output the count of directories and files in a folder.
-- Get a handle to the resource instance directory.
local resRoot = fileCreateTranslator( "/" );
local function getFilesystemObjectCounts( path )
local fileCount = 0;
local dirCount = 0;
-- Query the counts.
fileCount = #resRoot:getFiles( path, "*", false );
dirCount = #resRoot:getDirs( path, false );
-- Return the counts.
return fileCount, dirCount;
end
-- Output the filesystem object counts for the resource instance root.
local fileCount, dirCount = getFilesystemObjectCounts( "/" );
outputChatBox( "found " .. fileCount .. " files and " .. dirCount .. " directories in the resource folder root." );
