The "pipecom_lite$()" should have been changed to have an operating system conditional to decide to return "stdout" (Windows) or "stderr" (Unix-based). Otherwise, thank you very much for this tool.

The "io.popen()" in Lua does pretty much the same thing, makes unnecessary needing a file to have a "DIR /B/S" on Windows or "ls -1ar" or alike on Linux, only to have a cheap string list of files.
