Here:

A lot of very similar questions asked there just use the search function :).

Also your question is very generic if you provide some more details maybe I can help more.

Let’s say I have more than 5 files(such as: Shape_Cone.uasset, Shape_Cube.uasset, and many more) in folder(/Game/StarterContent/Shapes/).

I’d like get the all file names and store in a FString array.

Use


FindFiles( TArray<FString>& Result, const TCHAR* InFilename, bool Files, bool Directories )

pass in

  • “*.uasset” as InFilename to filter out only .uasset files in this folder

there is a nice question about it with a possible solution for you:

FindFiles is using some path it searches for it seems, you can also find a question about it there. In above question the solution is to correcnt the path.

FString dir = FPaths::ProjectSavedDir();
FString fileExt = TEXT("sav");
IFileManager::Get().FindFiles(SaveFileNames, *dir, *fileExt);
