View 1 RepliesRecursive File Copy based on file extension. I have a single root folder that contains numerous folders that contain a few files that I want to extract. For this example, lets state that I want to copy all �txt� extensions and put them into a repository folder.
Example:
\root
\root\Folder1\
\root\Folder1\abc.txt

I want to copy files with a specific extension (for example .config or .exe). It should create a structure of nested directories, and then insert each file into a specified place in the directory hierarchy. Ideally I would just specify a parent directory for each file and a parent directory for each directory and it would build it.
I need any existing utility or batch file or power-shell script or C#/VB .Net code to perform this activity.
I have File Like "Sample.bak" and when I compress it to be "Sample.zip" I lose the file extension inside the zip file I meann when I open the compressed file I find "Sample" without any extension.
I use this code :
Dim name As String = Path.GetFileName(filePath).Replace(".Bak", "")
Dim source() As Byte = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(filePath)
Dim compressed() As Byte = ConvertToByteArray(source)
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(destination & name & ".Bak" & ".zip", compressed)
Or using this code :
Public Sub cmdCompressFile(ByVal FileName As String)
'Stream object that reads file contents
Dim streamObj As Stream = New StreamReader(FileName).BaseStream
[CODE]...
I need to compress the file without loosing file extension inside compressed file.
Do you have some source code how to open a file (file browser) with file extension specific using Visual basic.net.
Just need to get the path then control this using the vb.net binding
I have a program that uses IO.File.Copy to copy files from point a to point b. Its slow, which is fine because there rather large files. I was wondering if there is way to get an estimate time to copy a particular file(s).
Example: File a will take 1 hour to copy, File B will take 30 minutes to copy. Estimate Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes.
I created the upload page using with FileUpload server control. And I used regular expression validator to validate file extension.
<asp:FileUpload ID="AttachmentUpload" CssClass="text" size="58" Width="376px" IE:Width="385px" runat="server"/>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator SetFocusOnError="true"
ID="AttachmentUploadRequire"
runat="server"

I need to be able to find files in a folder where the extension can be either caps or small letters. Here's my code:
Code:
Public Function GetIcon(ByVal name As String) As Icon
Dim execAssembly As Reflection.Assembly = Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly
Dim stream As System.IO.Stream =
[Code]....
How can I modify that function to return the file regardless of whether the extension is in caps or small letters?

I need to get the extension part of a file path for example,

I want to create my own extension without changing my registry file. I have a VB.NET project and I firstly want to create my own extension like ".abc" afterwards if there is any file like xxxxxx.abc when a person try to open this file I want windows to startup my project and open that file.

View 1 RepliesI have a custom tool "NafestisGenerator" of which I need to apply to every ".ntf" file. The question is, how do I tell visual studio (using the Custom tool Generator sample from Microsoft) to use the "NafestisGenerator" custom tool on every ".ntf" file?
View 1 RepliesI have a small requirement and that is as follows: I have opened a file using the "openFileDialog" provision and i have set the filer as (*.txt). Now when the openFileDialog is displayed, only the test files are visible, but the user can also select "All Files" and choose any other file type.Now what is require is that, if a file type other than .txt is selected by the user, i want to display an error message. So is there any provision by which i can get to know the file type that is selected by the user.

View 1 RepliesI've got an app which uses a background worker to copy files. It works fine but some files are quite large and it "appears" as though the app isn't doing anything. Is there an alternative to the File.Copy method of copying files so I can report on the progress of individual file copies, like the percentage complete?

Basically what I want is to have a program that you can load a txt file in, have it copy key words, and paste it in a textbox so I can use it later on. So in this text file, there is a bunch of info, but I am only needing a certain part. Here is an example of a text file (actually a .dat file, but is easily read):

The idea is to have a central place to put the routine in instead to copy it into every .vb file that belongs to each .apsx code file.
I have a program that I copy a file from one server to another. This has been working well if the servers are on the same domain.I now need to copy a file to a server on a different domain. If I were to do this manually it would prompt me for my username and password.
I don't see any way to put a username and password with doing an IO.File.Copy. Is there a better way to do this?IO.File.Copy(strSource, strDest)

I am using VB 08 running an openfiledialogue wanting to get the result of the GDS file (*.gds) to be the default extension at the drop down menu instead of All file when the openfiledialogue box opens.
I coded it with:
OpenFileDialogue.Filter = "GDS File(*.gds)|*.gds|All files|*.*"
but the results i get in the open file dialogue box remains as all files being in the drop down menu as the default file extension. How to i set it to ".gds" format?
I am developing an Application in VB.Net 2.0. I have a module which would copy files from the Local Machine to a shared folder on remote machine. This shared folder on the remote machine is an authenticated folder. So, after searching on the Internet I found the following piece of code.[code]Another point to note is that when I connect to the File Share using Windows Explorer and then try to execute the application, it works properly.I am not sure why I am getting the error when I do not connect to the Shared Folder using Windows Explorer.Do I have to set some property so that the Credentials passed in the authentication are used.I also checked some posts that suggested setting up Mapped Drive to the Shared Folder on the Local machine and then to copy the file using IO.File.Copy function. However, I cannot use this as this Remote Folder should be only accessed through the application and not in any other case by the User. The users will not even have the credentials to this remote Server as it will be configured by the admin.So, Is there any way in which I can set this up and transfer the files from local machine to a remote shared folder?

View 2 RepliesIdeally I'd like to be able to copy/move between an accessible folder on my local drive and a network share that I don't have permission to access (but the application would). I am using impersonation to give me access to the files in the network share but using System.IO File.Move or File.Copy forces me to use the same credentials for each location. Is there a way around this?
View 2 RepliesIn my program I allow the user to copy a file from one folder to another. If the file already exists in the target folder I want it to be overwritten.
All that works just fine - I'm not asking how to copy files.
But here's an example
Source file is:-
\SomeMachinesomeFolderfile.xyz
Target is:-
P:file.xyz
This might at first look like two separate files but in this case P: is mapped to \SomeMachinesomeFolder so the source and the target are actually the same file and the file copy will obviously fail.
Of course I want it to fail but my problem is that the windows generic error message seen by the user is not very helpful. It says something simple like "... can't be copied because it's busy". If the user isn't very bright he doesn't realize he's selected the same file both as source and target and he doesn't understand why it's busy.
What I want to do is detect in advance that the source and the target are the same file and display a more meaningful message to the user and not even bother trying to copy.
So, is there a way to detect that
\SomeMachinesomeFolderfile.xyz
and
P:file.xyz
are actually the same file?
I cannot do the following:
File.Copy(Application.StartupPath & "wait.exe", "%APPDATA%WAIT.EXE")
Can someone remind me how I got about copying a file to that location?
So, I have a task where I need to basically copy about 600,000 PDFs, some of which can be 5-6 MBs from one network fileshare to another network fileshare on another pc.Now, I crawled through the directories, sub-directories etc etc and created what I call a Filename/Filepath Database lookup table. This table contains the name and the unc fileshare path of each file which comes in handy.I have used Multi-threading and File.Copy to "copy" the files and I getting about 45K files per 4 hours which I need to be significantly faster then that and I am seeing performance degrade over time
View 1 RepliesUsing the below code I want to set the '*' to any file. This folder (C:ewtemp) will only have one TIF file in it at a time so I want it to use that file as TextBox1, but that filename is dynamic, but always with extension .TIF.
