in a specific folder of my hard drive i have stored many other sub folder and files. now i want to list those folders and files name by their partial name.
for example
--------------
c webapi xx folder
c mvctutorial xx folder
done webapi xx folder
webapi done folder
webapi.zip file
mvc.iso file
now when i like to search by partial name webapi then i want to get list of files and folders name which has webapi word. i want to show their full folder or file name in grid with their full path and size. like below way.
Name Type location Size
----- ------ --------- -------
c webapi xx folder c:\test1 2 KB
c mvctutorial xx folder c:\test3 3 KB
done webapi xx folder c:\test1 11 KB
webapi done folder c:\test1 9 KB
webapi.zip file c:\test1 20 KB
mvc.iso file c:\test4 5 KB
i got a sample code which look like for finding files but the below code may not find folder. so i am looking for a sample code which will find files and folders too. so guide me to solve my issue.
the below sample code will find files but not sure does it find files by partial name. here is the code. i am not before dev environment. so could not test the below code.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string partialName = "webapi";
DirectoryInfo hdDirectoryInWhichToSearch = new DirectoryInfo(@"c:\");
FileInfo[] filesInDir = hdDirectoryInWhichToSearch.GetFiles("*" + partialName + "*.*");
foreach (FileInfo foundFile in filesInDir)
{
string fullName = foundFile.FullName;
Console.WriteLine(fullName);
}
}
There is also a DirectoryInfo[] GetDirectories(string searchPattern)
method in DirectoryInfo
:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string partialName = "webapi";
DirectoryInfo hdDirectoryInWhichToSearch = new DirectoryInfo(@"c:\");
FileInfo[] filesInDir = hdDirectoryInWhichToSearch.GetFiles("*" + partialName + "*.*");
DirectoryInfo[] dirsInDir = hdDirectoryInWhichToSearch.GetDirectories("*" + partialName + "*.*");
foreach (FileInfo foundFile in filesInDir)
{
string fullName = foundFile.FullName;
Console.WriteLine(fullName);
}
foreach (DirectoryInfo foundDir in dirsInDir )
{
string fullName = foundDir.FullName;
Console.WriteLine(fullName);
}
}
