Additional Notes
- Relative to garrysmod/data.
- If usebasefolder is true then it starts relative to the GMod base folder (garrysmod/garrysmod).
- file.Find lists all files and folders, not just files.
- file.Find returns the file name as the value, NOT the full path. So for example, if you had something like data/random/stuff.txt:
MsgAll(file.Find("random/stuff.txt")[1]) //Output: stuff.txt MsgAll(file.Find("random/*")[1]) //Output: stuff.txt MsgAll(file.Find("random/*.txt")[1]) //Output: stuff.txt
