Hi

I want to find a way to iterate through files in a directory.

E.g. I have a directory and I want to loop round all files and return each file name.

Thx

Nickie

Hi Nickie,

Take a look at this thread.

The code is in VB.NET but it should be easy to change it for c#. The example loops through a starting folder, recursing each sub folder it contains and also loops through the Files collection for each folder.

Hi Nickie

Make use of Directory class of System.IO
This class has got functions like GetFiles, GetDirectories
that just suit your requirement.

Hi

Thx Ankur, and I did a bit of digging around after the last post and found this code. Just what I need.

Cheers

This bit is snipped from a quick-and-dirty app I coded to verify the transfer of a 1.6 Tb file system from one server to another, but it should give you an idea. the Name property of the FileSystemInfo object is what you are looking for...

    foreach(FileSystemInfo fInfo in dir.GetFileSystemInfos()){
            dirCount++;
            fcount = 0;
            if(fInfo is DirectoryInfo){
            // Console.WriteLine("Recursing {0}...", fInfo.Name);
                DirectoryInfo subDir = new DirectoryInfo(Path.GetFullPath(dir.Name + "\\" + fInfo.Name));
                foreach(FileSystemInfo subfInfo in subDir.GetFileSystemInfos()){
                    fcount++;
                    epscount=0;

                Console.Write("{0}\n", fcount);
            }
        }

Sorry .. forgot the constructor; args[0] should be the path to the directory you want to enumerate.

    DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(Path.GetFullPath(args[0]));
        Console.WriteLine("{0},", Path.GetFullPath(dir.ToString()));
