what would be an appropriate way to get all filenames out of a directory in

i have only seen very old posts about this, they all use pd-extended. is there
any recent object/external that does this?
it could be nice if openpanel could also open a directory and output all the
filenames...
alternatively is there a way to just read all the files from a directory one
after the other?
If you are on Linux (unix? macs?) and have Bash you could have in Pd a
netreceive obeject e.g.:
[netreceive 6666]
Then from bash something like this (from within the dir you want to list)
echo $(ls -1 | tr "\n" ";") > /dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/6666
or like this (example to feed directly the netreceive outlet to a [list]
object..):
echo $(find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -printf '%f ')";" > \
/dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/6666
The last one would also list hidden (i.e. 'dot') filenames
