Filtering Directory.GetFiles VB 2005?
Apr 27, 2009
I am wondering if there is a simple method to filter the result returned by Directory.GetFiles(). Basically I am looking to retrive all of the jpg files in a selected folder into an array. My current code works fine if the folder only has jpgs in it which should be the case in operation but I would like to make sure it works correctly when the folder contains other types of files as well. The line I am currently using is..
Code:
files = Directory.GetFiles(IMAGE_DIRECTORY) files is defined as an array earlier in the program and as I mentioned my program works fine when the folder has nothing but jpegs within. The problem is that I am creating a listview with thumbnails from these files and run into some indexing issues when there are non jpgs in the target folder. The easiest solution would seem to be a filter on the getfiles method that would return only files witht he given extension.
Anyone know how to do this or will I need to parse the files out of the array in a second process?

I can't figure out how to use the (because im noob)ystem.io.directory.getfilesIf I try to put it in a textbox for example textbox1.text = system.io.directory.getfiles("my directory") then I just get the error message "Value type of '1-dimensional string of array' cannot be converted to 'string'. First of all I have no idea what the '1-dimensional string of array'thing is.And if I try to put in a msgbox for example sgbox(system.io.directory.getfiles("my directory")) then I can run the program but when I click my button then it says "it can not convert argument prompt to string(google translated)". And second, I don't know what the prompt thing is either

I'm trying to load the most recent file from a directory, but my following code doesn't work. Am i getting something obvious terribly wrong?!
Dim myFile = Directory.GetFiles("C:UsersJoeDesktopXML Logs").OrderByDescending(Function(f) f.LastWriteTime).First()
I get two error messages:
Data type(s) of the type parameter(s) in extension method 'Public Function OrderByDescending(Of TKey)(keySelector As System.Func(Of String, TKey)) As System.Linq.IOrderedEnumerable(Of String)' defined in 'System.Linq.Enumerable' cannot be inferred from these arguments. Specifying the data type(s) explicitly might correct this error.
And:
'LastWriteTime' is not a member of 'String'.

This is the code I have set up to scan a directory of files:
Dim fileArray() As String
fileArray = Directory.GetFiles(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory & "help")
And it successfully gets all files in the directory, but it gets their absolute paths as well. For example, one of the entries in fileArray() is:
F:ProjectProjectinx86Debughelpook_troubleshoot.html
And I want it to just be:
book_troubleshoot.html
Is there a way to do this without parsing through all the array entries to trim off the path?

When I have a directory setup with a subdirectory and both the top directory and sub directory have files in them I get a list of all the files with no directory info. That's OK, but I need to restore them to another location with the same directory structure in place. I'm essentially copying all files in a directory and it's subs to another location. The problem is the sub directory info is not in the files list so everything goes into the main directory. How do I get around this or can I? Here is what I'm using now.
I have a directory, NewProg in Program Files and a sub directory under it called Sub.
files=dir.getfiles("C:Program FilesNewProg",searchoption.alldirectories)
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile("C:Program FilesNewProg" & File.Name, "C:NewProg" & File.Name,True)The Sub directory is not created and even when it is there, it always comes up empty with all it's files copied into the main NewProg.

I have a directory 'C:Test' with three files in it:
A23456789.txt
A1.txt
G 5.txt
And I run this command:
Dim FileArr = Directory.GetFiles("C:Test", "*1.txt", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
All three files are returned.I understand that this is by design and .NET searches the 8.3 short file names as well.But is there any way to override this and search the actual file names only?Surely, in this day and age there must be a function to do this. Or do I have to write my own?I would like the search function to have the same behavior as the Windows Explorer for consistency.

Consider the following snippet:
Dim Arext() = {"*.ttf","*.ttc"}
For Each foundFile In FileSystem.GetFiles(srcdir, SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, arExt)
[code]....
The unexpected result is that not all the files specified in arext() are returned by this code. Running the same code twice on the same subset of files does NOT produce consistent results.I'm seeing, probably, 90% of the files with the other 10% not being included?

I've got a requirement to create report datasets by taking a list of tables, columns from those tables, filters on the tables, and relations between the tables - and build a dataset from them. All this information is contained in an xml file. So I:Read the data from the tables in the list into the dataset. Apply any filter criteria on the tables to the default views. Add any relations between the tables to the dataset relations. So far, so good, but now comes the hard part. One of the requirements is to create a default view (or table) of columns at the dataset level - with the appropriate constraints and filters applied. So there would be this default table or view that would have, for example, columns 1 & 2 from table1, columns 4 & 7 from table2, and column 5 from table3. This is where I'm stuck, because there doesn't seem to be a 'view' property or function at the dataset level.

i have a datatable that contains numerous postcodes in the following format[code].....
there is always a space before the last 3 characters now i need to filter the datatable against a list of excluded postcode areas..these are the following format:-
BT1
BT2
BT4
BT40
so its either 2 letters & 1 number or 2 letters & 2 numbers, no 2nd part to the post code..i have a little function which builds the string, and then removes the rows from the dataset like so (ive pasted in an example postcode string)....[code]....
which obviously brings out no records as they all have full postcodes the issue is, i need to be comparing only the first half of postcode BTxx bit but cannot use a % wildcard, as this then would bring out BT40's when i only want, in this example, BT2 & BT4's..so is there a way to make it compare against the first half of the postcode?

I have created a resource directory loaded with 10 mp3 files in it and added it to the resources tab. The problem I am having is when the program is compiled and installed, it does not add the resource directory to the hard drive. I know that resources can be added into the applications files in the publish tab but cannot seem to figure out how to get it listed or added in there.I also took each mp3 and set the build action to Embedded Resource... That didnt help much though.The resource directory i want to include in the deployement is in my bin/debug/resources in the solution explorer.

What I'm trying to do is upload a file (image) to (possibly) a new directory. My logic is as follows;
If NOT Directory("[URL]" + UserID).Exists
CreateDirectory("[URL]" + UserID)
UploadImage("[URL]" + UserID, Image)
Else
UploadImage("[URL]" + UserID, Image)
End If
Is there a way to do this with WebClient or HttpWebRequest?

I'm programming in VB using Visual Studio 2005 Professional. I have a code munger perl script that generates some of the *.vb files that I want to compile. The script and the associated files are in my project directory, and when I run the script from the OS command prompt, it writes the files in the same directory, which is what I want. Rather than do this, I want to invoke the perl script as a pre-build event. I've gotten it to work ... almost. The only issue now is that the files are now deposited in TargetDir (/bin/Release e.g.) instead of ProjectDir. I could just change TargetDir to be ProjectDir, but that seems like I'm asking for trouble. Is there a way to separately specify the target directory for pre-build commands? Or change it to ProjectDir, then change it back after I'm done with the pre-build?

It seems like FileSystem.GetFiles() is unable to recover from the UnauthorizedAccessException exception that .Net triggers when trying to access an off-limit directory.In this case, does it mean this class/method isn't useful when scanning a whole drive and I should use some other solution (in which case: Which one?)? Here's some code to show the issue:
Private Sub bgrLongProcess_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles bgrLongProcess.DoWork
