Count Files In Directory?
Oct 31, 2009
I have a few questions about the following 1.What purpose does the first line of MSDN example serve? ystem.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection(Of String) Why use this? I tried reading about it on msdn, but i couldnt make much of it.
2. Why use CStr in the msgbox? For me it works fine without it with Strict on. am i missing something?
3. Am i making a mistake using my own version over MSDN example? I dont like using code that i cant understand, which is why i changed it in the first place.

I am writing a simple GUI for a 7-Zip command that will zip multiple directories, with two files in the working directory, to their own separate archives. The problem is that I have no idea on how to count the number if directories (only directories and not files) and find the name of just the first directory.Here is what I have so far:

how to count the content of a specific directory?And how do you delete an old file (ex. say your old program that create a back-up. But it has already created many back-ups and now it takes to much of the space in your hardisk.)

I am going to need to create a windows form for work that we can connect to a database table, select a directory and move files from the directory that are in the table and move to another folder. The directory will have sub directories that I need to search for the file name and move. I would like to have the table hold the file name (or path) and move all files that are in the database. There might be 20 files or 1000. Depends on the client we are processing for.

I'm using a dialog box to select multiple files and move them to the directory "C:/Playlist". I guess you can say I'm having trouble with 2 things.
1. The Loop
2. Use of the dialogs FileNames function

I have a directory searcher that is looking for dynamic groups.When I try to process the results it is taking 30 seconds to return the results.the ds.findall is very fast but when I try to find out the number of records returned or anything about the results it take the 30 seconds. So i am assuming that this is where the actual retreival of information is taking place.[code]

I have a SQL Server table with a list of files (path + filename), and a folder with multiple layers and files in each layer. I'm looking for a way to reconcile the two without having to process the list twice. Currently, I'm doing this:
For Each f as FileInfo In FileListFromDatabase
If f.Exists is False, mark it as deleted in the database
Next
[Code]....
Is there a better way to do this? I'd like to avoid converting all the matching files (of which most will be) to FileInfo objects twice. Since I'm a T-SQL developer first, I'm picturing something like an OUTER JOIN of the two lists where they don't match. Something LINQ-ish?

I'm trying to copy multiple excel source files into one excel file. My current code is working only for 3 source files..If more than 3 files are there, it doesn't copy the data but creates blank work sheet in the output excel file. Lets say I have a source folder with 5 excel files. Each workbook contains one worksheet with data. It copies upto 3 worksheets along with data into output excel file.
Lets say excel1 contains A as work sheet, excel2 contains B as work sheet ,excel3 contains C as work sheet ,excel4 contains D as work sheet ,excel5 contains E as work sheet .Now my output excel file should look like..OutputExcel with A, B, C, D, E along with respective data.But my current code is giving output as A,B,C worksheets along with respective data but its creating blank sheet1,sheet2 in place of D & E.

How would I go about counting specfic files in a given folder?I have for instance these files; 6-11715.jpg ,6-11715_1.jpg, 6-11715_2.jpg, 6-11715_3.jpg, 6-11715_4.jpg, 6-11715_5.jpg, 6-11715_6.jpg.
I want to be able to show the first picture then using a next button load the second picture and so on. When I get to the last picture I will repeat the process.
I'm thinking I need to count the files first based on the left string of the name to get the total number. then based on the number I can pull the fill with the file name change accordingly.

This time I would like to ask you how to keep count of files, without keeping count of them Let's say that in my folder I have file0.txt and file1.txt, next file I would like to write is file2.txt. I would open file file1.txt and save it as a successor (file2.txt).

I'm trying to figure the best way to verify the contents of a folder based on another count via a listbox. Here is my current code to count the number of PDFs in two different locations and total them together for a grand total.
'counts test1 pdfs
Dim f As String, c As Long
[code]....
I have another process before this that will create the PDF's based on the files listed in the listbox.What I am having trouble with is verifying that the PDFs that are created in the Test1 and Test2 folders equal the counts from the listboxes. This count needs to match before running the next process. I'm kind looking for wait or loop until both counts match, again before running the next process.

I am trying to get the files in a directory and display them in a list box. I have that part working, but I would only like to show the files that are NOT hidden. I am currently using this:
Dim atts As FileAttribute = CheckDirectory.Attributes
If (atts And FileAttribute.Hidden) = FileAttribute.Hidden Then...
this is part of a for each loop.
But is there a way to only return the files that are not hidden, instead of having to check if they are?
I also need this to see how many files are in each directory so I don't have to count each file in each directory within the current folder. If I use the CheckDirectory.GetFiles().count, it counts the hidden files to.. A for each loop is just too slow..

I want to have a windows application that would check a specific folder for any files, and if there are any files I will run some code to each file, I was going to use a timer and set it to refresh every 15 seconds or so but I am not sure if there are any other ways to do this that would not take up as much resources.

I want to include a function in my program that involves my copying files from my cd drive D:/ to my hard drive C:/. The code I'm using is below but it isn't working. The first one came up with an error, and the second one didn't come up with an error but didn't copy the files.
vb.net
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(foundFile, destPath & foundFile, True)
Dim srcPath As String
Dim destPath As String
srcPath = ComboBox1.Text & "Web Browser"
destPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonProgramFiles)
[Code] .....
The combo box allows the user to select which drive the cd is in, incase you were wondering.
