Hi,

I am new to C# and trying to read in any .txt file that will be dropped in a directory, I will not have control of the file name.

Here is a sample of my calling code:

class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            FlatFileTo850 t = new FlatFileTo850();

            string data = File.ReadAllText("C:\\src\\partner\\ConsoleApplica tion1\\subdir\\testFile.txt");
         //would like to take out the file name "testFile.txt"
         //and grab any .txt file

      string result = t.Evaluate(ref data);

            Console.WriteLine(result);

   using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("TestFileXX.txt", true))
   {
        sw.Write(result.Replace("~", "~\r\n"));
   }

            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }

Thanks in advance for any help.

You can use DirectoryInfo class and the GetFiles method, one overload accepts a search pattern, *.txt, off the top of my head, which will give you all text files. You can then read the data.

From DirectroyInfo to get path of directory and file path in FileINfo
 and then use StreamReader to read any text file

Thanks for your help, I was able get everything working!
