Directory.GetFiles Returning Entire Path - Only Want Filename?
Apr 26, 2010This 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?

View 4 RepliesVS 2008 Scan A Long String And Return Any Values That Occur Between The Tags <FileName> And </FileName>?
Jul 1, 2009Quick query...I'm trying to scan a long string and return any values that occur between the tags <FileName> and </FileName> I've got a bit of code here to use regular expressions to return the position of the occurunces of both substrings..Just wanted to find out if there is any way to scan for both substrings within one loop (as im currently doing 2, one for the first substring and one for the 2nd) so I can use something along these lines:
ringlist = Mid(XMLRESP, (startloc + 1), (endloc - 1))
MsgBox(ringlist)
to msg box the value between the substrings...either that or another approach to return the value between the 2 substrings (it can be of variable length)
Dim patternstart As String = "<FileName>"
Dim patternend As String = "</FileName>"
Dim matchesstart As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(XMLRESP, patternstart)

Remove The Filename And Extract Just The Path Of The OpenFileDialog.Filename Property?
Oct 17, 2010How would I do that? Sample code is below that demonstrated that the file I opened contained the full path and file name.
I want to extract just the path and serialize that to the user.config file as a UserSetting value. Then next time the user opens the dialog box, it uses that saved path string to go immediately to the location previously used.
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Properties.Settings.Default.persistConnectionType = openFileDialog1.FileName
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

Printer Selection From Process.StartInfo?
May 4, 2009I'm trying to write a VB.net utility that launches microsoft word and prints a document then closes the word window. My code works fine:

View 1 RepliesSaveAs Dialog And Extensions - Allow The User To Select A Filename To Save A File Either As A Doc File?
Jul 1, 2011I'm using the FileSaveAs dialog control to allow the user to select a filename to save a file either as a doc file, an rtf file or a pdf file (that part was easy).However, after a bit of testing, it seems that the file extension doesn't automatically change when selecting the different file types.If the filename in the dialog is Foo.doc and I select FileType *.pdf and click "Save", my app still tries to save the file as a doc type.Virtually every other MS app automatically changes the extension to match a selected file type from the Office Suite to Paint. here's my code:

Get The FileName For The Proces.Start(FileName) Method?
May 27, 2009I have a Listview on my form with different files. I can selet a file en open it with the proces start method. To open the file i use the OpenFileDialog method and select the filename. This work very good. With the code below.
My question is if there is a method to get the selected file without using the OpenFileDialog Box. So when i dubbelclick the selected file the proces will start with open the selected file. Something like:
proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.SelectedCell.FileName
instead of proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileName
PS) May be i can preduce the Filename using the OpenFileDialog method on the background.

View 8 RepliesVS 2008 : Process.StartInfo.Arguments With A Collection Of Files?
Sep 19, 2009I need to pass a file's name as an argument and a switch to the executable I'm using.I'm doing it like this:
vb.net
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = "-z ""C: est.txt"""
I'll know where the files are that I need to grab, but I won't always know the exact names. So, I thought I could grab a collection of the files, store them in a variable, and then pass them as an argument.I tested it with one file like this:
vb.net
Dim File As New System.IO.FileInfo("C:...Desktop est.txt") Dim proc As New Process proc.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "..." proc.StartInfo.FileName = "....exe" proc.StartInfo.Arguments = "-z" & File & "additional arugments" proc.Start() proc.WaitForExit()
But, as you all may already know, I can't use the & operator with a string and FileInfo.Would I have to then convert the FileInfo to a string first and then pass it through?

File I/O And Registry :: Filename Currently Being Used By Another Process
Jun 11, 2009I get the common error: " 'File Name' is currently being used by another process..."
My problem is that I have two forms. If the file doesn't exist in the one then it creates the file and opens up the other form, if the file exists it doesn't do anything, however, in the other form that it opens up I have it "attempting" to write text via StreamWriter. But my problem occurs when the StreamWriter tries to open the file for writing, that is when the program tells me that the file is currently being used by the other process.
In my first form I close the form via Form.Close and all I am using to create the file is System.IO.File.Create. Now I know that the System.IO.File.Create is causing the error because I have this process checking the very first thing on the program load. I am trying to find a work around the System.IO.File.Create but no luck here... I am trying to create a .txt ... lets say test.txt .

C# - Find A File By Filename Only (i.e. Extension Unknown)
Jul 27, 2010We have a network folder that is the landing place for csv files processed by different servers. We alter the extension of the csv files to match the server that processed the file; for instance a file with the name FooBar that was process by Server1 would land in the network share with the name FooBar.Server_1.
The information I have available to to me is file name: FooBar and the path to the share. I am not guaranteed the extension as there are multiple servers sending csv files to the network share. I am guaranteed that there will only be one FooBar file in the share.
Is there a method in .net 2.0 that can be used to get the extension of the csv armed only with the path and filename? Or do I need to craft my own?
