Find all files in a folder

Question

I am looking to create a program that finds all files of a certain type on my desktop and places them into specific folders, for example, I would have all files with .txt into the Text folder.

Any ideas what the best way would be to accomplish this? Thanks.

I have tried this:

string startPath = @"%userprofile%/Desktop"; string[] oDirectories = Directory.GetDirectories(startPath, ""); Console.WriteLine(oDirectories.Length.ToString());  foreach (string oCurrent in oDirectories)     Console.WriteLine(oCurrent);  Console.ReadLine(); 

It was not successful in finding all of the files.

A lot of these answers won't actually work, having tried them myself. Give this a go:

string filepath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop); DirectoryInfo d = new DirectoryInfo(filepath);  foreach (var file in d.GetFiles("*.txt")) {       Directory.Move(file.FullName, filepath + "\\TextFiles\\" + file.Name); } 

It will move all .txt files on the desktop to the folder TextFiles.
