GetDirectoryList ... unexpected results

Ok, I've given the "getDirectoryList" function a whirl around the block and it does not seem to produce the output that I'm expecting -- namely, a list of files in the directory, as the documentation states.

It does give back a list of directories, but does not ever list the contents of those directories --

What I am trying to accomplish is this:


I need a way to get back a list, or a SimSet, or whatever of all the files in a given directory -- I've tried the findFirstFile/findNextFile and getDirectoryList and both appear to not work as I'd hope ...

getDirectoryList returning a list of directories, and not files
findFirstFile/findNextFile not allowing a pattern to be more then just a filename comparison ("myGame/data/images/path/*.png" for example)


Has anyone run into this problem before? Does anyone have any work arounds? I'm OK with making mods to the engines C++, but I'd prefer a cross-platform solution (Windows/OSX).

Thanks
