I need to make a tool that will pick every .txt file in its folder and subfolders. I came to a point that the tool will pick every .txt file in its folder, but I don't know how to instantly also pick from all the subfolders.
Here is a code sample to let you know what I did, hope you could help me.
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim fbd As FolderBrowserDialog = New FolderBrowserDialog() With {
.Description = "Select a path",
.SelectedPath = "C:\Users\klaasjelle\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\WindowsApp2\WindowsApp2\bin\Debug"
}
If fbd.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
TextBox1.Text = fbd.SelectedPath
End If
Dim dinfo As New DirectoryInfo(TextBox1.Text)
Dim files As FileInfo() = dinfo.GetFiles("*.txt")
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
For Each file As FileInfo In files
ListBox1.Items.Add(file.Name)
Next
End Sub
You should use dinfo.GetFiles("*.txt", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
