Example Code:

   From DXF_Batch_Processor.Lua
     -- [[ ----------- DirectoryProcessor --------------- 
    |
    | Given a root directory and file filter, call the passed function with
    | every file which matches the filter
    |
    | The do_sub_dirs flag indicates if sub directories should be processed as
    | well as the root directory
    |
    ]]
    function DirectoryProcessor(job, dir_name, filter, do_sub_dirs, function_ptr)
    local num_files_processed = 0
    local directory_reader = DirectoryReader()
    local cur_dir_reader = DirectoryReader()
    directory_reader:BuildDirectoryList(dir_name, do_sub_dirs)
    directory_reader:SortDirs()
    local number_of_directories = directory_reader:NumberOfDirs()
    for i = 1, number_of_directories do
    local cur_directory = directory_reader:DirAtIndex(i)
     -- get contents of current directory
     -- dont include sub dirs, use passed filter
    cur_dir_reader:BuildDirectoryList(cur_directory.Name, false)
    cur_dir_reader:GetFiles(filter, true, false)
     -- call passed method for each file:
    local num_files_in_dir = cur_dir_reader:NumberOfFiles()
    for j=1, num_files_in_dir  do
    local file_info = cur_dir_reader:FileAtIndex(j)
    if not function_ptr(job, file_info.Name) then
    return negitve 1
    end
    num_files_processed = num_files_processed + 1
    end
     -- empty out our directory object ready for next go
    cur_dir_reader:ClearDirs()
    cur_dir_reader:ClearFiles()
    end
    return num_files_processed
    end
