There are quite a few files in this directory, but only several are
Directories:
In[107]:=
Length[FileNames[
"/Users/dreiss/Documents/Mathem docs/VariousPackages/
DiaryDevelopment/Diary/*" ]]
Out[107]=
172
To find the directories use Select with the pure function
FileType[#]===Directory&
In[108]:=
Select[FileNames[
"/Users/dreiss/Documents/Mathem docs/VariousPackages/
DiaryDevelopment/Diary/*" ],FileType[#]===Directory&]
Out[108]=
{/Users/dreiss/Documents/Mathem docs/VariousPackages/DiaryDevelopment/
Diary/Documentation,/Users/dreiss/Documents/Mathem docs/
VariousPackages/DiaryDevelopment/Diary/FrontEnd,/Users/dreiss/
Documents/Mathem docs/VariousPackages/DiaryDevelopment/Diary/HTML,/
Users/dreiss/Documents/Mathem docs/VariousPackages/DiaryDevelopment/
Diary/Kernel,/Users/dreiss/Documents/Mathem docs/VariousPackages/
