Copying Files

Hi Everyone,

I needed a little help with copying a certain file type from one folder into another. For instance copying all the .dll files from one folder into another . All help is appreciated

I know i can use the System.IO.File.Copy to do it but how do i specify just a certain file type not a file

Copying Files

Aqua General

Here is an example to do that (to copy DLLs files only form direcotry to another), however, it's a Visual Basic .NET code

Dim FileFullPath As String
For Each FileFullPath In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("DirPath")
  If System.IO.Path.GetExtension(FileFullPath).ToLower = ".dll" Then
    System.IO.File.Copy(FileFullPath, "C:\Test\" & System.IO.Path.GetFileName(FileFullPath), True)
  End If
Next

Hope this helps you.

Copy Method:

public static void CopyDir2Dir(string sourceDir, string desDir, string searchPattern)

{

DirectoryInfo dirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(sourceDir);

foreach (FileInfo file in dirInfo.GetFiles(searchPattern))

{

file.CopyTo(desDir + "\\" + file.Name);

}

}

Usage:

CopyDir2Dir(@"C:\dir1", @"C:\dir2", "*.dll");

this will copy all dlls from dir1 to dir2.

Use System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(), then check the extension, if the type is what you want to copy, then copy it using System.IO.File.Copy().
Hope this helps a bit.
