create a ls to property file generator

[gsharp]

using one line, parse lines of output to a properties file format

open terminal and go into a directory:

cd ~/Desktop

get a list of files:

ls

using one line, do the ls and parse the output of ls into this format:

files=file1,file2,file3….etc

and save the output to a file called

files.txt

rules:

• you can use any directory
• you can use any utility
• you can pipe the shit out of it
• no trailing comma at end of line in output

You should be able to test your result with:

cat files.txt

answer is here when you want it:
