my code wont find my save .txt files

Godot Version

func populate_file_list():
# Ensure the list is empty before populating
clear()
# Open the user:// directory
var dir = DirAccess.open(“user://”)
if dir == null:
print(“Error: Failed to open directory.”)
return

print("Directory opened successfully.")

# Iterate through files in the directory
var file_name = dir.get_next()
print (file_name)
while file_name != "":
	# Check if it's not a directory and ends with ".txt"
	if !dir.file_exists(file_name) and file_name.ends_with(".txt"):
		print("Adding file: ", file_name)
		add_item(file_name)  # Add file name to the ItemList
	file_name = dir.get_next()

Question

I have my .txt files saved under user:// but my code just cant find anything under user:// what am I doing wrong???

You need to start listing the directory dir.list_dir_begin() before using get_next()

its always some tiny bit of code XD thank you so much
