ok, this is a function which scans a sourcedir recursively and copies the found files to the target dir:
you call it like this:
make sure you created the target dir before attempting to use that function! (replace the source and target dir to your needs!)
C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
/// <summary> /// /// /// </summary> /// <param name="sourceDir">source directory</param> /// <param name="targetDir">target directory</param> /// <param name="targetDir">file type (mp3)</param> static void Mp3FileCopy(string sourceDir, string targetDir, string fileType) { try { foreach (string d in Directory.GetDirectories(sourceDir)) { foreach (string f in Directory.GetFiles(d, fileType)) { File.Copy(f, targetDir + "\\" + new FileInfo(f).Name, false); } Mp3FileCopy(d, targetDir, fileType); } } catch (System.Exception excpt) { Console.WriteLine(excpt.Message); } }
you call it like this:
C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
Mp3FileCopy("d:\\download", "d:\\mp3test", "*.mp3");
make sure you created the target dir before attempting to use that function! (replace the source and target dir to your needs!)
thank you, that is exactly what i wanted. thanks again.
