i have a folder that contains folders that contain fileslets say i have a folder named schoolin this folder there are other folders for each subject: math folder - physics folder - chemistry folder ....... and so onin each folder, lets say the math folder contains many files for previous quizes and exams, like : midterm2007.pdf - midterm2008.pdf - final2008.doc - final2008.docxnow what i want to do, is a tool that searches the school directory and gets for me all " files " this is what
so i will try and make this simple, im writing a program in VB 2008 and i need to search through the whole hard drive for a specific file type, in my case they are .psd files so im using this line of code:
If any directory within a set being searched by the [URL] or [URL] methods contains a junction point, the entire method fails and returns zero results on my tests under VB 2008. I would like to make the call more robust: to return the folders or files not blocked by access restrictions and to note the folders which were blocked. Do those methods offer a means to do this, or is a recursive folder-by-folder call necessary?
My current project is to search the computer for exe files, I managed to do that easily with a for...each statement. It ran well, but it came to a adminstrator folder, then it said "Access Denied".I understand that you cant access these folders, but i was wondering how to exclude certain directories that the user can't access, like UAC or something.[code]
I'm developing an application to help law enforcement retrieve and analyze logs and other files left by the use of Pidgin (a multi-protocol messenger client). Right now I'm nearly done, but I want to add the ability to search chat logs for user-defined words or phrases and I don't even know where to begin.
Chat logs are stored as html documents in a folder/sub-folder/sub-folder/sub-folder fashion, where each sub-folder can have dozens of sub-folders inside of it, and the final sub-folder can have dozens if not hundreds of chat logs. If anybody could point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful.
(Also, this is the first program I've written since about 2005, and I'm essentially teaching myself VB as I go. If you'd like to see what I've cobbled together so far, you can find the program here.)
at I do not know the number of or the names of the folders, they can be different in different cases, I only have the root path.how I can display folder contents in VB.net and the code worked but couldn't figure out how to create the arrays and display only folders within folders starting with "ad_".
System.IO.DirectoryInfo and System.IO.FileInfo to be used for getting the folders.A literal control can be used to create javascript arrays in ASP.NET. These js arrays can then be used on the client side.
It appears that when IO.Directory.GetFiles tries to read a folder that it doesn't have access to it throws an exception & stops reading. Is there any way to have skip those folders & continue reading the rest of the folders?
I use the code below to fill the list box and it works great. But i need it to only look in the \Software and \Software\FolderName Foldername could be any folder in the Software folder i need it to get all the .exe from software folder and only one more folder deep no more.
I need help with file enumeration. I'm trying to create a program that can list files, folders and sub folders locations in a log file for diagnostic purposes. After it searches it can open notepad and display the results. The problem I'm having is that I'm a beginner and not familiar with file enumeration.
Have built a project and associated it with a Setup&Deployment Project. The S&D project needs to contain 2 main folders (under User's Desktop) with various formats of files (xmls, txts, dlls) inside them and several subfolders. How can i copy/import these 2 folders and there sub-files/folders into my s&d project?
When adding them in the usual way, they are copied and defined a source path onto the current pc. You can understand what errors this might create when an another targeted pc does not contain those files to the exact location. Is there any way to copy them locally or somehow import them?
Is there a quicker way to check directories? For example I want to check if the folder "A Folders" contains folders from 000A all the way to 999A then lists the folder that are missing? Do you think this is possible?
how to delete them by using this My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory("C:Your_Folder", FileIO.DeleteDirectoryOption.DeleteAllContents) but it says that that this path cannot be accessed.I run vista how can i get rid of that?
How does one go about moving a directory using VS2005? I have a treeview that is populated with the network's directory structure, but only on a much smaller scale. When the folder is selected in the treeview, the full path is displayed in a label.
This is the source folder. The destination folder will be hardcoded. The issue is that its only moving the files within the source folder and not the folder and its contents. I have tried using the Directory.Move but kept getting an odd error, "Cannot create a file when that file already exists." It doesn't exist in the destination folder...odd[code...]
i am working on a app. and i need to know how can i share floders that the app will use to save flies over the net. i was thinking about crearting a data base that would save all the files on to it , and then share the data base with fellow co workers, but i do not know how to add a excel file or word doc. in the database. i am pretty new to all of this so any help would be great. the app is writen in visual studio 2010.
basical it will let the user access the file he needs to compelte his work off shore. the files are created and saved as he needs them. once he is finished, i need the app to send the floder to some type of server ( dont have a server yet) so that the office and other co workers can see the files when they run the app.
I have a bunch of images loaded in as resources then i added a mediaplayer.resx file so i could keep the images separate... only now i have just discovered it doesnt? It still puts all images together, so i cant add multiple images with the same name? (needs to be the same name - its a filename)
how to add folders and images right into the project explorer.How do I then reference the images? are they just like files? so it would be app pathfolderimage.png ? WIll it add to the distibution like this?
i have maid a program witch has images in it from my hdd. Now when i build my program and send it to other ppl thay cannot see the images. i know this is becaws the path i directed to pull the images from is not on there pc nor do thay have the images lol. so my question is how do i put the images in the actual exe as in the actual program that i have built so all the images and stuff are all in there. so thay only need to run the exe and not have any sub folders to hold the images.
I have two folders at different locations but with the same name. A file is generated in one of the folders and it is to be copied to the other folder but without overwriting the existing contents in C#.File.Copy overwrites the contents which makes me lose the previous contents. Is it possible to merge the contents in the folder?
I'm looking for some code (C# or VB.NET preferred) to iterate through all folders in an Outlook mailbox and return the names of those folders. I'm not looking to pop up the Outlook folder dialog, but rather to return the folder names in a given mailbox from outside Outlook.
In subversion/TortoiseSVN, I am wondering how to un-version a directory. We have a large number of projects, each with a BIN and OBJ folder which are under source control. I want to delete these two folders from subversion, but keep the folders locally.I tried the "Delete (Keep local)" option, and that works on my machine. However when another developer performs an Update, their BIN and OBJ folders get deleted. I need it to simply become unversioned when the other developers perform an update, instead of having them removed from their machines.
I have built a com object in vb with the "Make Assembly COM Visible" that I use from the strange dialect, "Clarioneese." I maintain 2 versions of our main software, so I have 2 folders, one for each version.My COM object works from one of the folders, but not the other. I copied the exposed dll into both. I used regasm on the copy in the nonworking folder, but still, my Clarioneese programs can only work it if run from one folder, and not the other.Working Folder: C:cs46exe (I didn't name this, don't blame it on me)Non working folder: C:cssqlsdkv6 (I inherited this awful folder structure)If I move an exe built by Clarion into the cs46exe folder, the dll works, but not in the v6 folder.I thought I understood how this works, but I guess not. You can't be successful at this unless you're at least 1/2 a bubble off level.
I've written a backup utility for one of our applications; this process involves coping sub directories of a specified base folder and an unknown number of folders within folders. I've got the process down to copy the files and directories pretty easily but I want to compress the folder structure to keep the space needed as small as possible.I've found a few utilities that work well for getting the files from the specified base folder but not any of the folders that exist in the specified start directory.The one utility I found required me to recursively search directories for the variably named directories and I am hoping for a simple switch that can be used that says base folder/file and sub directories.
