Moving files from one folder to another C#

Guys I am trying to move all files ending with _DONE into another folder.

I tried

//take all files of main folder to folder model_RCCMrecTransfered 
string rootFolderPath = @"F:/model_RCCMREC/";
string destinationPath = @"F:/model_RCCMrecTransfered/";
string filesToDelete = @"*_DONE.wav";   // Only delete WAV files ending by "_DONE" in their filenames
string[] fileList = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(rootFolderPath, filesToDelete);
foreach (string file in fileList)
{
    string fileToMove = rootFolderPath + file;
    string moveTo = destinationPath + file;
    //moving file
    File.Move(fileToMove, moveTo);

But on executing these codes i get an error saying.

The given path's format is not supported.

Where did I go wrong ?

Solution

  • Your slashes are in the wrong direction. On windows you should use back slashes. E.g.

    string rootFolderPath = @"F:\model_RCCMREC\";
string destinationPath = @"F:\model_RCCMrecTransfered\";
