I am trying to take a directory and create a new directory in TEMP, that contains all the files in the original directory, but not create additional sub-directories.
Here is what I have so far:
Directory.CreateDirectory(Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath() + "C# Temporary Files"));
string lastFolder = new DirectoryInfo(folders.SelectedPath).Name;
foreach (string newPath in Directory.GetFiles(folders.SelectedPath, "*.*",SearchOption.AllDirectories)
.Where(s=>s.EndsWith(".c")|| s.EndsWith(".h")))
{
File.Copy(newPath, newPath.Replace(folders.SelectedPath, Path.GetTempPath() + "C# Temporary Files\\" + GlobalVar.GlobalInt));
}
This works in copying files that are in the directory itself, but not files in subdirectories. Instead it throws the error:
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException.
An example of the error:
Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\C# Temporary Files\outer directory\sub-directory\filename'.
I'd it recursively - maybe something like the below pseudo code... not tested..
public void CopyRecursive(string path, string newLocation)
{
foreach(var file in DirectoryInfo.GetFiles(path))
{
File.Copy(file.FullName, newLocation + file.Name);
}
foreach(var dir in DirectoryInfo.GetDirectories(path))
{
CopyRecursive(path + dir.Name, newLocation);
}
}
