View 1 RepliesAll 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 need to write a process which filters out 'old/dead' job files from a directory (actually two directories). This process needs to 'read' a number pattern (in a fixed position) off the filenames (for which there will almost certainly be duplicates), and having then 'got a list' of unique number patterns, give these to a function (which I already have) which will give a boolean, from which I can decide to either delete those files whose name contain this particular number pattern or not - this is intended to be run each night (windows task scheduler). Example directory content is:

I know I can get a listing using Directory.GetFiles(dirpath, "SUB_*.xml") but am stuck on how to go about the rest.
I'm trying to find an easy to create a hierarchical directory structure that I can put in a TreeView, with two caveats:
1) The file list is from a file
2) The paths are un *nix format (e.g. /dir/dir/file rather than c:dirdirfile)
I found this ([URL]) which would do what I want...if not for the two caveats above. I can go through the process of tokenizing the paths and start creating linked lists of objects for a directory structure, but before I do that I'd like to find out if anything else is available...

how would i go over an external directory listing (like an external computer that i am connected to through winsock or likewise) with a server and client..i would like to hear some suggestions on what libraries to use also (winsock, unolib,...)I need this for a school assignment so help is more than welcome. I'm planning on letting the client download files from the server through this directory listing or something likewise..it doesn't matter really if it's a directory listing or something else, it just has to be user-friendly.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to retrieve file date information into an array to select the newest file from a directory. I can get a file listing but not the date information by useing DirectoryInfo(). My experience is with Visual FoxPro. In VFP I used a function ADIR() - which returns the directory listing and related file info as an array - is there a similar function in .net?

I have an app that reads a directory to get the filenames in a directory for each File in Directory(process file) next file. I want to know if the file size makes a difference to the time it takes to get the filenames.eg if a folder contains 10,000 photos of 1 megapixel and another has a folder of 10,000 photos of 8 megapixels will it take the same time.

The number of directories and/or total number of files shouldn't be a limiting factor if possible. I would also like all subdirectories to be after the tab for their parent directory.

Makes the following statement about the code below:
**"The computer evaluates the loop condition in the Do...Loop statment to determine whether the loop instructions should be processed. In this case, the inputsales <> String.Empty condition compares the contenst of the input sales variable to the String.Empty value. As you know the String.Empty value represents a zero length, or empty, string if the inputsales variable is empty, the loop condition evaluates to True and the computer process the loop instructions. *If on the other hand the inputsales variable is not empty, the loop condition evaluates to false and the computer skips over the loop instructions.
Based on the code I think it is the opposite: ...that while the inputsales value is not empty it should evaluate to true and process the loop and if it is empty it should evaluate to false and skip the loop?
See below.
