vb.net get file names in directory?

Question

I have the following code.

Dim text As String = IO.File.ReadAllText("C:\Example.xtp")

This code is specific to a single file, however I would like to file.readalltext for every file in a particular directory.

How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

You will need to use the IO.Directory.GetFiles function.

Dim files() As String = IO.Directory.GetFiles("c:\")

For Each file As String In files
  ' Do work, example
  Dim text As String = IO.File.ReadAllText(file)
Next

Answer 2

Dim fileEntries As String() = Directory.GetFiles("YourPath", "*.txt")
' Process the list of .txt files found in the directory. '
Dim fileName As String

For Each fileName In fileEntries
    If (System.IO.File.Exists(fileName)) Then
        'Read File and Print Result if its true
        ReadFile(fileName)
    End If
    TransfereFile(fileName, 1)
Next
