Move Files From Multiples Subdirectories To The Parent Directory?
Dec 23, 2009
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:
C:VIDEOSTHEWIRESEASON 22X01.avi
C:VIDEOSTHEWIRESEASON 22X02.avi
C:VIDEOSTHEWIRESEASON 22X03.avi

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 have a script task inside a for each file loop which moves files from one directory to another. It uses the file.move command which works fine unless the file I am moving already exists in the destination directory. I would like to add the datetime string to the filename before moving it or alternatively an incremental variable to make the filename unique before its moved.

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'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]

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 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.

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.

I need to get the location/name of the directory that contains my application. I know I can get location of my app using My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath but I don't know how to get the directory above this. I can of course mess around with String.Split etc.. but I don't think that is necessary.

Let me say that I have 'f' as a file/folder path.
Dim f As String = C:UsersTom BluewaterMusic
Dim d As String = Path.GetDirectoryName(f)
Is it possible to locate f within its parent directory (d) as shown in the picture below? I know that you can open its parent directory like the following.
Process.Start("explorer.exe", Path.GetDirectoryName(f))
And that's not exactly what I want. In this case, the Music folder won't be selected. I could search this place for a clue. But there was no hit. It seems that the search function doesn't always work here.

I successfully retrieve a user (call it userA) from Active Directory that exists in Domain A in the users subdirectory. I then try to remove the user from AD by doing
dim theParent as DirectoryEntry = userA.Parent
theParent.children.Remove(usera)
This fails because when I look at the parent node in a Watch Window in Visual Studio, all of its members say COMInterop.Exception.

I've been trying to figure this out, but have had no luck...Using FileSystemWatcher to monitor a folder and subfolders.I've got everything working fine (inluding cut-paste of a folder), the problem i'm having with is if a directory is moved, there is no way for me to get the contents of the moved folder...and the only event that is fired is a "Changed" event...no rename, nothing else.From the MSDN website:Copying and moving foldersThe operating system and FileSystemWatcherobject interpret a cut-and-paste action or a move action as a rename

First off, I am completely new to VB and have no previous programming experience. I was required to take an Intro to Visual Basic class.
As a result, I was assigned to write a program for my final project. My professor wanted us to challenge ourselves and try to design something we would use. While my fellow classmates chose damage calculators and stat calculators, I chose to write something that would move files around. It was challenging for a beginner, but i figured i would be able to find alot of help in my book and online. I'm impressed at myself that I've made it as far as I have, but I've hit a snag in the road.
The project is due friday, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to move the files... which is a bit of a problem.[code]....

It keeps throwing an exception like this "Cannot create a file when that file already exists" at this line:
Code:
Directory.Move(contentDirectory, archiveDirectory)
I have checked, and the directory that I am moving, does exist at the source, but does not exist at the destination. I have tried including some console.writelines to make sure my variables are correct, and they look good. The first bit of code works where it creates the new directory, but fails when I try to move anything over to that directory.
Code:
Sub Main()
Dim Guid As String = "test"
Dim archiveName As String = "scripttestone"
Dim contentDirectory As String = "C:content" & Guid
Dim archiveDirectory As String = "C:archive" & archiveName
Dim TodaysDate As Date = Now()
