1. use folder external, but it will only provide a list of files in a directory
2. look at shell external (osx only), over at maxobjects.com
3. or otherwise if you want cross-platform, u could look into writing your own java based tools.

It is a javascript so will work on windows too but will be a fair bit slower than a custom external. Hopefully this will help a bit.
