I have come up against another brick wall I have a large number of .csv files which are located within subdirectories of lets say the "c:emp" directory. What I need to do is find all of these csv files, open them individually, perform an operation on each and then close each one.
What I am struggling with is the part where I find all of these csv files. What I would ideally like to do is search through each of the subdirectories, return a filename (including complete path) as a string which I can then use in my code to open the files individually and perform the operations.
[code]It spews out the directories that contain the .my files [level2a & level2clevel3] and skips level2b which does not.It looks like this code for VB 6 would work:[code]I can get to the level1 directory. I am after an array of paths to subdirectories that contain matching file names.
I have some code that launches a .bat file. The error comes from within the .bat file, navigating to the specified directory."F/Program Files/ Tversity/Media Server/data/ if i run cmd, then manually navigate to F/program files, i cannot navigate into any other directory within program files. Wierd..if there is an easier option to just use vb.net without launching a .bat that might help please let me know. i know i am not showing any vb.net code, but it just launches a .bat file. i know the forum rules, but i am hoping that someone might know why i can't navigate to my program files. it is not permissions, i am an admin on the local machine no domain.
I am creating an application that will pull all of the files ending with .txt out of a directory, however, the directory contains folders with .txt files in them as well. How can I search the entire directory including sub directories to get all .txt files to show up in my list box? Right now I am only getting .txt files that are right in the directory, but not the .txt files that are located in other folders located within the directory I chose.
How would I go about copying all the files out of a directory and lots of subdirectories and moving only the files somewhere else?(say C:Testfile1.txt).
I have downloaded a program for moving files and it accepts visual basic instructions. I want to down a level all the files from multiples subdirectories to its parent directory. Example:
I have this: C:VIDEOSTHEWIRESEASON 22X012X01.avi C:VIDEOSTHEWIRESEASON 22X022X02.avi C:VIDEOSTHEWIRESEASON 22X032X03.avi
And I want to have all the files in just one directory, like this:
I want Search In a Directory for multiple pattern ( For Example : *.jpg,*.png,Davood,*.dj ) that Result shoud return all files and folders that matched with my pattern,
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?
how I can search a folder of csv files to find out if one of the csv files has a particular name in ?I'm currently searching a folder to bring back all csv files using the code below and this is working fine.
[code]...
But now I want to take it a step further and actually search within the files themselves.
I'm trying to list all subdirectories in a directory. I wan't to show only the Name of the directory. For example "Program Files" not "C:Program Files".
This will not work for me, because it returns full paths. Dim Dirs As String() = IO.Directory.GetDirectories("C:")
I tried using: Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo(Path) Dim Drs As IO.DirectoryInfo = di.GetDirectories() But it returns an error. What should I use instead?
I am writing in VB.net to fetch all the directory names (including sub directories in all the levels).However while using directory.getfilesystementries(path) I am getting only the top level sub directories.how to fetch all the subdirectory names of all sub levels?
I need to store in an array all the Directories on drive C, all the directories & all the sub directories & subdirectories of sub directories, with an option maybe to list the files in each directory
The recursive code I have searched for and found seem to have all sorts of variations that do not suit my needs
basically im looking to have two textboxs with 3 buttons
TextBox1.text contains the path to the new file and
TextBox2.text contains the path folder to subdirectories
i have everything i need working, haha i know not much, this is only my second day with vb.I just needed a button now to carry out the function of copying the file i tried using simple file copy but i had to specify a file output in that and it only gave me option to copy it to one directory.For instance
C:index.php TextBox1.text <- loaded in from button 1
C:www* TextBox2.text <- button 2 loading subdirs
now i need a button 3 that would carry out the function of copying textbox1.text to all subdirs in textbox2.text.i thought i would have been able to use simple copy as stated above with wildcard in my program but no joy
I'm running in to a problem and all the google searching for the past 3 hours haven't solved it.I'm using Visual Studio 2008 on a Windows 7 Enterprise x64 OS.Programs Intended Use: This will be a pre-deployment assessment program, to be run by the end-user to calculate difficulty of the deployment(setting up of new computer) to see if we can send a student or send a full time staff.It will grab the username, computername, os, etc which are all already working. I want it to grab the size of the user profile (C:Users%Username of currently logged in person). This is where I'm having difficulty.The function works fine on the desktop folder, but on mydocs it comes up with access denied errors, as well as "LocalApplication Data" being access denied.[code]
VB.net 2008 build and publish.The application cannot publish as it cannot find the files. I down loaded the MS exe that installs it, but, I need to load them into the same folder as the install package.I looked at the folder: Microsoft SDKs/v6.0Aootstrapper/packages and transferred the folders but they do not contain the files.One of the errors on build is as follows <error> Error32The install location for prerequisites has not been set to 'component vendor's web site' and the file 'DotNetFX35dotNetFX30NetFX30a_x86.msi' in item '.NET Framework 3.5' can not be located on disk. See Help for more information.WindowsApplication1.
I want to make a program that scans a website to find an extension (.png), then tells me all of the files with that extension on the server.Which displays them in a list box. so lets say the website is
[URL]
and i need to find the files, but file browsing is off on the server.So I pretty much need a web crawler. How can i do this?
I've created a button and textbox which allows me to do an openfiledialog and select multiple files. The problem is, after selecting multiple files, when I run the program it doesn't run through all files selected, just the first file. I know I'm missing an integral part of code here, but not sure what it is.
For testing purposes I've created similar code and output to a textbox shown below. I would expect that each file selected by multiselect would appear in the textbox provided.
Dim OFD As New OpenFileDialog OFD.Title = "OFD" OFD.InitialDirectory = "C:"
I don't know enough about VB.Net (2008, Express Edition) yet, so I wanted to ask if there were a better way to find files with different names but the same contents, ie. duplicates.In the following code, I use GetFiles() to retrieve all the files in a given directory, and for each file, use MD5 to hash its contents, check if this value already lives in a dictionary: If yes, it's a duplicate and I'll delete it; If not, I add this filename/hashvalue into the dictionary for later:[code]Is this a good way to solve the issue of finding duplicates, or is there a better way I should know about?
I'm trying to find a good strategy to access data files, image files, etc., that I want to distribute in my VB.NET deployment. The challenge I'm having is to find a place to put the files, and a means for the program to find them, regardless of whether the program is running in the Visual Studio environment as a debug build or release build, or running as an installed application.I've considered using AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory to find the location of the EXE file, then using relative paths to that folder. However, that approach depends on the directory hierarchy imposed by the Visual Studio tools when it separates the binaries of debug and release builds. Both builds would have to navigate upward to reach a common root folder, and the path traversal algorithm must work for the deployed EXE file too.
Am getting below error, the program cant seem to find some custom dll on my project when installed. in the setup and deployment i check only 'primary output source from myapp'
I'm making a Cleaner for my PC that could delete all files with a specific name.So I have all the names in a .txt file, like:
A B C D
Now I need somekind of function that would search in a directory ( The user gives the dir. in a textbox ), and its important that it would also search in all sub folders and see if there is a match to any of the names in the .txt file. And it shall not care about in what format the file is. It can be in .exe , .txt or any format.
