C# - Copy File With Specific Extension With Creating Folder Structure?
Jun 15, 2012I want to copy files with a specific extension (for example .config or .exe). It should create a structure of nested directories, and then insert each file into a specified place in the directory hierarchy. Ideally I would just specify a parent directory for each file and a parent directory for each directory and it would build it.
I need any existing utility or batch file or power-shell script or C#/VB .Net code to perform this activity.
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()

arDrives = Directory.GetLogicalDrives()[code].....

.net - Searching For A Specific Format In A String?
Aug 10, 2011I need to accum some data based on whether or not an SSN number appears in the data. I have it in a string, what I need to do is search for a numeric pattern within the string such as:I looked into regex a bit, but I don't have much time to read deep into it (my company needs the program this week) and it seems too complex to grasp in such a short time. What I've came across so far is:
If (rec.address1 Like "###-##-####")
but I don't know if this will filter it out of the string (it can appear with an address attached to it).
Searching A String For Specific Values?
Jun 26, 2009I have a program which grabs the source code of a webpage and puts it into a string. I would now like to search the string for two values.
"video_id": "value 1 here"
"t": "value 2 here"
The problem, is that I don't know the position of the values, and I the values change depending on each webpage. All I know, is the text before the value, e.g. "video_id" and "t:"
Here is my code:
Dim videoid As String = TextBox1.Text.Trim
Dim wc As New System.Net.WebClient()
Dim result As String = wc.DownloadString(videoid)

May 18, 2012There's an INI file that I want to access and read information from. This is the complete content of the INI file in question: http:[url]....I believe it is because of the [ ] tags in that INI file. Because they work if I remove the tags.My program has a bunch of comboboxes, trackbars and checkboxes. These items will be filled by the information taken from the INI file.For instance, ini file has these lines;

Example: I want the checkbox8 in my form to get checked if bFXAAEnabled has a value of 1 or unchecked if it is 0.
Searching And Displaying Specific Records In A DataGrid

If this is easier to adapt into a code that allows searching and producing specific records in a database, please use this one.

Searching 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?

Select File/folder In Namespace Extension In Windows Explorer?
Jun 9, 2012I am having a namespace extension implemented, which is visible in "MY Computer". I want to write automated test cases to browse through the same. I am able to open the explorer window till the namespace extension. as -
Process.Start("explorer.exe", "shell:::{CLSID of my namespace }")
next I want to search for a particular folder name inside the window opened. For example if i give input as "temp", then my mouse should move to "temp" folder in the namespace explorer window. then I double click on the mouse's current position and enter that folder. next i give input as "doc1.doc", then my mouse should be able to locate & move to "doc1.doc" file. Also getDirectory or GetFile etc APIs won't work because I don't have a standard drive associated with my namespace & don't have a relative path either.

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

Removing Specific Folder From ZIP?
Jul 2, 2011I'm developing an application that adds .class files to a .jar using Ionic.Zip (Found Here) but this library does not support removing files from a zip, only adding them. Is there another free, open-source API that would allow me to add and remove files from an archive?
For those of you who don't know, .jar files work the same as .zip files, except their executable java files. The .jar i'm adding to and removing from, the developer said that anyone can do such things with it if they want.
