Searching A Folder For Audio Files And Adding That Folder To An Array?
Aug 23, 2010So I've been using some code to generate directories and such in a custom treeview, but am looking to expand upon this idea. While it's not using recursive functions, and only calls functions when expanding levels, I'm not quite sure how to put some of these together.find a way to just search through all folders on the PC. If the folder contains audio files, that folder is than added to an array (searching a folder for audio files and adding that folder to an array is done). It's just recursivly searching all folders on the PC.Here is the code I've been using for the treeview (I'm not sure if it can be adapted):
Public Function ListAllDrives() As String()
Dim arDrives() As String
arDrives = Directory.GetLogicalDrives()[code].....
Asp.net - Searching Particular Files In The Folder?
Jan 13, 2012I 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 = ""

Searching In Text Files In A Folder ?
Oct 17, 2009I'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.

Selecting Dynamic Folder When Searching For Files?
Feb 27, 2012I 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

View 1 RepliesVS 2008 Obtain CRC32 Checksum Of Files Within A Folder Then Rename Files And Folder
Mar 4, 2010in the current project im making i've decided to add in some tools, 1 of which is a renamer based of a renamer app that already exists (called scdtoolz), i want to build my own version of it so i can learn some new things, and build a nice GUI version of it.[code]So what i have managed to determine is that the current app scans the folders contents for the CRC32 Checksum, and renames based of that, since the 456.bin's CRC32 Checksum was 2274F80B, and in the text file 2274F80B is found here 'WWF - Rage in the Cage (T-81015)(U)#2274F80B#'So now i have determined game identification is based of the CRC32 checksums, how would i go about coding a similar ap in vb.net?first i need to make the app scan a folder, but how to return crcchecksum? and then rename if check = XXXX? If MD4 sums are easier/simpler i can use those instead, im lookin at a few hash app sources now, so i think i can see how to get the md5 but not the crc32 yet, or how to rename the 2 files and folder based of the text file.

View 2 RepliesSearching For A Text String Within A Folder?
May 5, 2010VS2008
VB.net
I have the following simple code for searching for a text string within a folder and have several questions:
Dim searchFolder As String = "C:BakerOrders estOrders"
Dim files As ReadOnlyCollection(Of String)
files = My.Computer.FileSystem.FindInFiles(searchFolder, "NEXT DAY PM", True,
[Code].....
The folder will contain up to 1,000 text files (at any point) at 20kb to 50kb each. The scan should occur every 5 sec with ~200 new files and (-) ~200 exiting files during this period.
Questions: The previous code only catch files from 1 text string. Is there a way of doing one search and returning the files which contain any of the 3 strings? Is there a more effective way of achieving this? Is there a simple / effective way of searching each file only one time by keep track of previous results while searching only the 200 new additions each scan?

View 7 RepliesSearching For Files In A Directory?
Jan 19, 2010I'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:
