Solution 2

Try:

C#

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(pathtoMyFolder1, "*(jsop*");
foreach (string oldPath in files)
    {
    string newPath = Path.Combine(pathtoMyFolder2, Path.GetFileName(oldPath));
    File.Copy(oldPath, newPath);
    }

Hi.......OriginalGriff
My Full folder path is E:\\MyFolder1\\MyFolder2\\MyFolder4\\pathtoMyFolder6(pathtoMyFolder6 have contain "jsop" files)

I want to locate\set path only E:\\ and find out "jsop" file. is it possible?

OriginalGriff 26-Aug-14 4:02am

You can...but it's not a good idea to start with root folders: windows is picky about what you are allowed to do there, and you can get access violations due to hidden special files in the root. If you restrict it to "E:\MyFolder1", you can find all files in all folder beneath that without problems though:

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(@"E:\MyFolder1", "*jsop*", SearchOptions.AllDirectories);

Will return them with the full path.
Do make sure that this doesn't include the files you are copying to! :laugh:
You may also have to be a bit cleverer about how you handle your paths when you construct the "output path" to prevent overwriting - using string.Remove to take of the base folder and keep the rest instead of just using Path.GetFileName may be what you want. (But remember there is a limit on the maximum length of a path as well!)

You're Great Sir,
Thanks for explain.

Hi....Sir
One more help.
There are lots of files store same name in MyFolder1 But Extension is different just like
(1) 1452_43552388(jsop2201).Mp3
(2) 1452_43552388(jsop2201).txt
(3) 1452_43552388(jsop2201).doc
So I want to copy only Mp3 extension.

Just change the search string:

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(@"E:\MyFolder1", "*jsop*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

becomes:

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(@"E:\MyFolder1", "*jsop*.Mp3", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

Thanks Sir

Hi........Sir
if we want to copy mp3 and .txt files then what will i do?(above the mention code)

OriginalGriff 27-Aug-14 4:00am

You either have to do two searches, or find all files and then manually filter them: there is no regex or "multiple option" search.

ok......sir

Here is a solution for copy files:

C#

//Copy one file:
string fileName = "test.mp3";
            string sourcePath = @"C:\dir\";
            string targetPath = @"C:\dir\subdir\";

            
            string sourceFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(sourcePath, fileName);
            string destFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(targetPath, fileName);

            
            if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(targetPath))
            {
                System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(targetPath);
            }

            
            System.IO.File.Copy(sourceFile, destFile, true);

Copy more files at once:

C#

//Copy selected files:
            if (System.IO.Directory.Exists(sourcePath))
            {
                string[] files = {"C:\\dir\\1.mp3", "C:\\dir\\2.mp3", "C:\\dir\\3.mp3"};

                // Copy the files and overwrite destination files if they already exist.
                foreach (string s in files)
                {
string fileName = "1.mp3";
string targetPath = @"C:\dir\subdir\";

                    string destFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(targetPath, fileName);
                    System.IO.File.Copy(s, destFile, true);
                }
            }
            else
            {

            }
