How to List Files in a Directory in Rust27.11.25

https://rustjobs.dev/blog/how-to-list-files-in-a-directory-in-rust/Basic Directory Listing:
use std::fs;

```
fn main() {
    match fs::read_dir("/path/to/directory") {
        Ok(entries) => {
            for entry in entries {
                match entry {
                    Ok(entry) => println!("{:?}", entry.path()),
                    Err(e) => eprintln!("Error: {}", e),
                }
            }
        }
        Err(e) => eprintln!("Error: {}", e),
    }
}
```

Here, we use fs::read_dir to obtain an iterator over the entries in a directory, printing each entry to the console.
Exploring the walkdir Crate:

For a more feature-rich solution, the walkdir crate provides additional functionalities like filtering and sorting.
1. Installing walkdir
[dependencies]
walkdir = "2"

Add the above lines to your Cargo.toml file to incorporate the walkdir crate into your project.
2. Recursive Directory Listing:
extern crate walkdir;
use walkdir::WalkDir;

```
fn main() {
    for entry in WalkDir::new("/path/to/directory") {
        match entry {
            Ok(entry) => println!("{}", entry.path().display()),
            Err(e) => eprintln!("Error: {}", e),
        }
    }
}
```
