We have many handlers that deliver directory trees as lists, but arrays are a

think of a way to do this without resorting to "do".
Surely this is what recursion does for you?
e.g.
function directoryTreeAsArray tRoot, tSubPath --> aTree
local aTree
set the defaultFolder to tRoot & "/" & tSubPath
put the files into aTree["files"]
repeat for each line f in the folders
if char 1 of f = "." then next repeat -- unix gotcha
put directoryTreeAsArray(tRoot, tSubPath & "/" & f) into
aTree["folders"][f]
end repeat
return aTree
end directoryTreeAsArray
(initially invoked with empty second parameter)
Or have I misunderstood the requirement?
