Reconcile A List Of Files And A Directory With Subfolders/files To Find Changes?
Jun 3, 2010
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?
ListBox1.Items.Clear() Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo(TextBox1.Text) Dim aryFi As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("*.*")[code]......
and that displays only the file name, like text.txt but i want it to display C:/Text.txt and all the files in the subfolders too, like C:/Program Files/Test2.txt but i just get test.txt from only the c:/ .
VB.net 2008 express This is what I have so far, and it loads a list of files from a text file. Now I need to be able to delete them all from a certain drive and all sub folders in it. For instance I push the delete button and it goes through the entire list and deletes all the files in it from the designated drive and all it's sub folders.
Code: Public Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form #Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
I've tried searching for a way to get a list of all files + all files in all subdirs. I've tried a simple shell("dir /s /b > myfile.txt") but it doesn't work because of some Danish specific characters. I have looked at the "getfiles" method, but I can't get it to work
I have been trying to get a .jpg files from subfolders that get's updated and a new subfolders is created. I have been trying to figure how to code to read the folders/subfolders and to get the .jpeg files copy or move to different folder.
coders within the program i'm coding right now I would like to generate an arraylist of all files within a folder, its subfolders and those subfolders subfolders.These are the functions i have to generate an arraylist of all folders in a folder along with all files in a folder is there any more simple way to just search every file within a folder including all subfolders, and subfolders of subfolders?
I am trying to create a program which will read the files that exist in a directory, and then write in a text file the specific information (full file name, date created)i have found several code in the site but i cant make it work, the machine i am running the code is XP and i am using VB2008.The code i have found is the following:
I have a function that returns a value of the numbers of files, folders and subfolders in a directory. But i can't seem to handle the "UnauthorizedAccessException" which i get from certain read only files or folders. I tried to use both the DirectoryInfo.GetDirectories() and DirectoryInfo.GetFiles() methods. as you can see from the code below. This exception is thrown in start of the for each loop, so i'm not able to handel it with a try, Catch Ex As UnauthorizedAccessException to cintinue the loop.
I'm trying to get files from a directory and all the sub directory's to show in a checked list box. This is my first time working with arrays?here is the code
Public Class add_to_play_list 'IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory & "\x"' Dim Home As String Dim Fi As New ArrayList
[code]....
I have a sansa fuze and i have to make my own playlist for it so i want to have the program read the songs that are on there and show it to you in the list box and you can check off the ones you want then it will read the mp3 files to make the playlist, it needs the path, name, and duration from the mp3 file. i can get the name and the path so far...
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.
Title says it all. How can you obtain a list of files (as a stringcollection or some other storage method) which contains the full path on the user's computer to the files?
I need to do a daily process that has to copy (download), all the files from a iSeries folder. At the moment, if i know the filename i'm using the following code with the cwbx.dll
Dim dt As New cwbx.DatabaseTransfer dt.UserID = "user" dt.Password = "password" dt.Download("iSeriesName", "dir/filename", "outputfile")
But how can i list all the files that exist in that dir, so that i can copy/download them all ?
I have an 'In' folder that users drop all different types of files into (.doc, .xls, .rtf, .pdf etc.).Each file that gets dropped into the 'In' folder should have a matching .pdf file (i.e. abc123.doc and abc123.pdf)I have a program which looks into this 'In' directory at regular intervals and moves filename.* to another directory. The folder the files get moved to depends on the first 2 characters of the filename (12-abc.doc might get copied to folder '12' etc).All the files placed in the 'In' folder should have both a native file and a matching .pdf i.e. (abc123.doc and abc123.pdf)In some cases the native file is missing. In some cases the .pdf is missing.There are 2 things that I want to do.
1.) I want to prevent files being moved from the 'In' folder if a .pdf does not exist (I think I can deal with this one ok). I think perhaps a For Next Loop Array for filenames minus the file extension and if it already exists in the array then copy them (but what if someone has got a .doc and a .xls but no .pdf?!?!? I'm sure somebody could tell me a simple way of achieving this.
2.) This is the part I am struggling with. I need to look in existing folders that files have already been copied to and list:
a.) Native file without matching .pdf b.) .pdf without matching native file c.) .pdf with matching native file
I am using the following code to allow the user to select a directory and then list the appropriate files within that directory in a combobox. What I would like to do is sort that combobox into a descending order so the most resent files are listed first as the filename contains a date yymmdd.
ComboBox1.Items.Clear() If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then TextBox1.Text = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath End If Dim BackupFolder As String = TextBox1.Text
I am trying to program my application in VB.Net so that when a user goes to my 'FTP Out' page, the page straight away loads with a list of the files that are on my FTP site.I know I will have to get a connection going with my FTP site but how do I actually go about getting the list of details to show on my form?
At the moment, all I can think of is calling 'Methods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails'
I have a process serves as an application updater.It checks it's local cache of files and compares this against list of files online.On it's first run there are no files in the local cache and it therefore downloads ~100 of these files.[code]This appears to work very well, since Explorer confirms that all files are extracted and available.However when I later run this process again, it cannot verify the existence of 6 of these files and therefore tries to download them despite the fact that they are clearly both present and up to date.The offending code is a simple File.Exists call which appears to deny the local existence of these files, and therefore tries to get them again.The system continues to work well, but over time the continual downloading of these 6 files is going to get kind of silly.
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'm trying to search a folder and it's sub folders for a file and add those files to a datagridview. I think the code I have is right but I need to get some of the files info, like the name and what not. since I've tweaked it it doesn't work.
I have a function that imports files from a folder and puts them into an array. The problem is: the files from the subfolders aren't included.
Public Function GetFilesByExtensions(ByVal strPath As String, ByVal colExtensions() As String) As IO.FileInfo() Dim tmpCollection As New Collection For Each strExtension As String In colExtensions
I have a program that copies files listed in an excel file and adds two columns together to rename the file when it is copied. This all works perfect. What I am having difficulty with is when the files are copied and renamed - I can't get it to find files in subfolders and copy them also. I have a text file that is created letting me know what files were not copied and the subfolder files are always on there?
I'm working on an application, in which the first step is to append all files in a folder selected through FolderDialogBox.It works perfevtly.There is a change in the requirement now.The change is, all .txt files within the selected folder and .txt files in the subfolders of the selected folder has to be
Dim theDir As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo(inputPath) Dim theFiles As FileInfo() = theDir.GetFiles("*.txt")
this is the code i have on form load: textbox1.text ="C:Documents and SettingsOwnerDesktop"
here's the code to load the listbox:
ListBox1.Items.Clear() Dim filepath As String = (textbox1.text) My.Application.DoEvents() Try For Each file As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles _
[Code]...
now what this does is load the files w/out the file path or extensions , but, it loads the files in the subfolders as well . i just need the desktop files to load in the listbox, not the subfolder files
