I'm creating an app that has check boxes that will define a search. The files all reside in one folder. I've looked at some tutorials that use io.directory.getfiles and I can get this to work. But what I think i want to use is: io.path.getfilename because I don't need the path (though I'm about ready to make an exception).
When should I use io.path.getfilename and can I use that method to do a search? I can't figure that out. I would think it would react as io.directory does but I am incorrect.....
Here is the code. Its short becasue I'm just figuring things out first:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim afiles() As String
[Code]....
The commented out line is what I can't get to work and I'm thinking that is what I need to work.
i use the code below to collect all the files in a search. work great but i all so need to collect all the directorys at the same time..
Public Function GetFilesRecursive(ByVal initial As String) As List(Of String) ' This list stores the results. Dim result As New List(Of String)[code].....
I'm writing a small app that finds the directory of an active program and displays it in a message box. e.g. Microsoft Word is open and running... click a button and the app finds the Microsoft Word's directory. It has to be able to differentiate between the active program and inactive copy of the program.
I am trying to search AD for a computer name typed in a textbox and return any matches or at least return true or false if it exists I am confused wether to use directory services or ADODB connection or ADSI
I am trying to code a Search option for the user to search for any word in the KJV Bible in my program and the search should return every instance of the search word or phrase i.e. "Love".I checked the MSDN and forums and found an example that uses the FindInFiles method. I have a textbox called "Search" and a Go button. Under the click_event of the Go button, I have the following code (it returns the error "IOException was Unhandled"..."The directory name is Invalid".) [code] The entire KJV Bible is in my solution explorer folder: "KJV Bible". I don't understand the error. Is it my syntax?
I'm trying to get files from a directory and all the sub directory's to show in a checked list box. This is my first time working with arrays?here is the code

I have a sansa fuze and i have to make my own playlist for it so i want to have the program read the songs that are on there and show it to you in the list box and you can check off the ones you want then it will read the mp3 files to make the playlist, it needs the path, name, and duration from the mp3 file. i can get the name and the path so far...
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.
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 am trying to create a program which will read the files that exist in a directory, and then write in a text file the specific information (full file name, date created)i have found several code in the site but i cant make it work, the machine i am running the code is XP and i am using VB2008.The code i have found is the following:
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 am trying to move a file (test.txt) from say from:[code]I understand from the MSDN forum, i can use this File.Copy(pathA, pathB) OR Directory. Move(pathA, pathB) where pathA = C:folder_ est.txt and pathB = C:folder_ est.txt
I can search all the images with .jpg extension and pass it to the fancybox gallery , The issue is i just want the images of particular productid for instance if a product has 5 images , and they are saved as (productid_imagenumber.jpg) , therefore a product with productid 99 will be saved as 99_1.jpg , 99_2.jpg similarly 99_5.jpg,I can pass the productID but i cant find a away just to get the images of that productID , instead of getting all the images which is done by the function below:
Dim directory As DirectoryInfo = New System.IO.DirectoryInfo("C:Images") Dim allImages() = directory.GetFiles("*.jpg", SearchOption.AllDirectories) Dim strContent As String = "" For Each image As FileInfo In allImages
I want to create Desktop Search Engine using vb.net. While searching on internet someone suggested that I should use B+Tree indexing for quick results. But I don't know how to implement B+Tree indexing for searching file.
On a image file (PDF), the OCR has recognised the picture and text. However on Visual Basics, how do you search for a text on this image file? The primary goal is to allow a text search (i.e POxxxxx) on all the image files (PDFs). The returns of the search will be the assciated image files where the text (i.e POxxxxx) is found on.
All I am trying to do is write a simple program that will let me choose a directory and get a listing of all files in that directory and its sub-directories and show it in a RichTextBox. I got as far as being able to select the directory but when I click "OK" I get "access to c:documents and settingsstevedesktopmp3 is denied".The code I am using is listed below.
I want a form to search a directory (which i specify in the code) and then list all files with a file exstension that is .amxx .And that's not all, it should list them in a checked listbox.And of course a little + is that it only list the name of the file, not the hole directory + filename. But that feuture i don't really need, just for good looking.I looked into the problem and i tried something with DirectorySearcher but with no success.
how to even start a code project of this sort but here it goes... I have an external Hard Drive with some music. My itunes makes duplicates of all my songs so this is what i have.
What I want to do is have the program search the files and delete all files that have a duplicate with a number behind it... Now I would use windows search but some of the songs are like 1001.mp3 or 1001 1.mp3... I want it to look like this when i get done (from the above):
I am using the following code to search files in the hard drive but when it reaches system folder or System Volume Information, it gives error. How can I avoid searching the system folder?

I need to scan all files on our solution (aspx, js, ascx, etc). Our solution contains 22 projects all in all. What I need to accomplish is to search for all files which contains "img=" in its content (not filename containing "img") I don't want to do this manually of course (opening and checking files one by one). How I can do this faster.
I am going to develop a antivirus software and i want to scan the files.. so i want to get the files one by one into a Label I Already use this code to get add the files to a listbox But It did not Help For me... Because it is adding Whole Files to a List Box at Ones..
I'm trying to create a folder search operation. The folder will have several text files (.txt), and user will specify the folder path and a search string, and the program will search the exact string within the text files which are located in the specified folder, and show the files. So far I've done nothing. I don't know how I can do folder operations with vb.net. a link to reading material.
I am in charge of developing a searchable database which should allow users to search for any key term in every fils content in a folder. Note that I need to search for filescontent, not file name. Right now, users usually have to searchfor every file to look for particular filecontents with any key terms.
Having a bit of an issue with my file.scanner and that issue is that I cannot figure out how to run multi.threading when searching the files within a folder(8,000+ files).
Imports System.IO Module x Function xGetFolderFilesCount(ByVal selFolder As String) As Integer
I have a file search that I want the user to select the folder they are searching the file in. At the moment I have If Check.Text = "Correct" Then If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("C:Systemsfile.txt") Then 1CheckBox.Checked() = True Else 1CheckBox.Checked = False End If
However this check will be used for various files and its not usable if the FileExists directory stays the same ie searching the same folder and file for different records. I have a FolderBrowseDialog that I want the user to select the folder first in where to search and then within this chosen folder the static file will be checked. I have this as my folderbrowsedialog:
Dim Browser As New FolderBrowserDialog Browser.Description = "Please select ." Browser.ShowNewFolderButton = False Browser.RootFolder = "c:" Browser.SelectedPath = "c:windows" If Browser.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then Me.text.Text = Browser.SelectedPath End If
I tried adding in this code to the actual file check to encoporated the dynamic folder search but its bringing up errors and not working, I have this: Dim path As String = "Browser" Dim f As ReadOnlyCollection(Of String) = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles("test.xlsx") If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("test.xlsx") Then Box.Checked() = True
