Search For All Files With .mp3 Format In A Directory?
May 8, 2009
I have this code which will search for all files with .mp3 format in a directory:
Dim di As New DirectoryInfo("C:\")
For Each fi In di.GetFiles
If Path.GetExtension(fi.FullName).ToUpper = ".MP3" Then
[Code].....
How do I make it search within subdirectories of the desired directory? Also if anyone who could come up with a code for a progressbar. I know all the rules about 'we wont do your homework', but I'm just asking to give me a basic place to start

one of the BIG hurdles in my simple project, making a search engine. I don't know how at all. The search engine need only to search in one Directory with its sub directories and txt files for criteria, and display the results, with option open from the results. any basic code or example maybe?

i have been trying to search a specified directory and all sub directories for all files that have the specified file extension. However the inbuilt command is useless as it errors up and dies if you dont have access to a directory.
Private Function dirSearch(ByVal path As String, Optional ByVal searchpattern As String = ".exe") As String()
Dim di As New DirectoryInfo(path)
Dim fi As FileInfo
[code]......
However i get an "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." when i try to access the data stored inside the filelist string array.

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'm using a dialog box to select multiple files and move them to the directory "C:/Playlist". I guess you can say I'm having trouble with 2 things.
1. The Loop
2. Use of the dialogs FileNames function

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?

All 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 am working on writing a very simple application for work. We have a network drive with several folders. I need to select a directory and then develop a list of all the directories and their paths. For this I am using VB Forms. I have added a ComboBox but then what control do I use to select the directory? I do not see any controls in the toolbox (like the little icons that show up to create a new directory and such).

I'm running into some issues when trying to perform a directory search. For some reason I keep getting a {"Unknown error (0x80005000)"} -2147463168 soon as I try and run the search. When I review the details of the error under item I get "In order to evaluate an indexed property, the property must be qualified and the arguments must be explicitly supplied by the user."I'm running as the domain admin, so I hope I can rule permissions out of the picture. I have tried the ldap string with and without the server nameip address makes no difference.Starting to think there is an issue with AD.
I have included the simplest code that reproduces the error.

back in May minitech gave me a code to loop inside the C drive and list all of the files.
[code]...
The code is only good for one specific path such as C: est, but what i was thinking was to search in more directory's at one time.Before i go and make integers, and very bad code practices. I was thinking if someone could suggest a better way of accomplishing my task.

I have some code that builds a treeview and replicates our AD structure - this runs fine.
One issue i found is when searching through the DirectoryEntries it lists all items where i would like to limit them to Organisational Units only. I thought or using the DirectorySearcher but it seems that i would have two operations running at the same time probably doing the same thing but returning slightly different results just to limit to show what i need. Is there a way to tie DirectoryEntries/Entry with a DirectorySeracher to limit results to Organisation Units or is there a way to do this another way and still have it displayed under a treeview?

I am currently using the Directory.GetFiles("Path of folder", "Specific Data") to search a folder for specific files and then do something with those files - this works perfectly. However i would like to search all sub folders within the top level folder also.I have seen ways to return what directories exist within the top level - which i could then use to search but was wondering if there is an easier way.
