Okay. So would you mind telling me how I could filter out:

hidden files and directories (okay - "glob")
files

without iterating over the content of the directory and know in advance that the last 3 items in my list don't count?

Example: I have in my list [ a b c d e ] where b, d and e are files, which I do not want to display, while a and c are the directories to show. How would I know that in advance?

With my approach I filter b, d and e out, leaving me with just [ a c ]. So I know that after "c" there won't be any more files or directories to be displayed.

How would you achieve this?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
