???

[Narue]

I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you know how to write to a file?

[IDC_Sharp]

not so well, i mean i did it but i have some problems so i need you for help me

[IDC_Sharp]

look the program is for my dad, he asked me to do something like that for him,
so i started and i was stopped at this point i have problem with my code to save file with new name

[Razer_90]

someone can help me?? this is me IDC_Sharp (new account)

[Mitja Bonca]

Ok, I saw this post of yours, and what I want now is a decent explanation of the problem. I will not even look into code of yours, but I need some words what you need to do. Simple.

[Razer_90]

again this is me IDC_Sharp (new account) hh
ok i made a listView, a textBox, and 2 buttons:

- listView1
- textBox1
- button1
- button2

now i made the code that you can drag mp3 files from your computer into the listView
the listView shows the name and the path (c:/what ever/what ever/song.mp3)
when i click button1 it's change the name of the items in the listView to the text of the textBox and it's add number i mean
if the song call "ABC"
and i put in the textBox "DEF"
and the index is 0
this specific item will change his name to "DEF 1"; (the indexes starts with 0 so the name will be everytime bigger with 1 - you can see the code above).

Until now i made everything ok.

__________________________________________

now i want that when i will click on button2 it will save those mp3 files with there's new name somewhere else.
and i had problem with the code so i came to here

[Mitja Bonca]

You mean to save files some place else on the hdd?

[Razer_90]

hdd? what is that mean?
but yes i mean that i want it will copy the files to other location with new name

[Mitja Bonca]

hdd = hard disc drive :)
About your code:
You can create a FileInfo array, and save them on the other location.
Does your listView has only one column or two? (fileName, and full file path)

[Razer_90]

2 columns(fileName, and full file path)

[Mitja Bonca]

I did a code, but didnt test it, becuase I did use any real files in example:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < listView1.Items.Count; i++)
            {
                var someFile = new FileInfo(listView1.Items[i].Text);
                File.Move(someFile.FullName, listView1.Items[i].SubItems[1].Text);
                //the point is, that you have to specify two things inside the brackets:
                //1. Source file name (path where is the file now)
                //2. New file path!
            }
        }

[Razer_90]

actually this is where i was stopped in the beginning.
your code mean that it will copy them with the new name to the same location of the file
i want that it will copy them in the Desktop
so i made 1 more column.
every item will got 1 more subitem that have always the text "C:/Users/what ever/Desktop"
so i tried to save them but there is more problem like what it was error about your code

Could not find file
'C:\Users\What Ever\Desktop\MusicFilesMixer\MusicFilesMixer\bin\Release\song 1.mp3'
