I am having difficulty getting Binary Reader to detect the files selected from a "Browse for Folder" dialogue. The intent is to read at "X" location within all files in a directory and save that data to a TXT file. I've tried various ways but cannot seem to get it... The line I'm having trouble with is:
BinaryReader NDSRead2 = new BinaryReader(file)
Anything I put in to replace (file)
throws an error. Tried various ways with that line and elsewhere in my code but can't seem to get it. My code is listed blow.
/// OPEN FOLDER DIALOGUE
FolderBrowserDialog fbd = new FolderBrowserDialog();
fbd.Description = "Select a folder";
fbd.ShowNewFolderButton = false;
if (fbd.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
{
/// THIS NEXT CHUNK OF CODE SETS UP WHERE THE TXT FILE WILL BE SAVED, IN THE SELECTED DIRECTORY.
string brlTextLoc = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);
DirectoryInfo dir1 = new DirectoryInfo(fbd.SelectedPath);
txtBRLSave = new System.IO.StreamWriter(fbd.SelectedPath + "BuildRomList.TXT", true);
txtBRLSave.WriteLine("Build Rom List");
txtBRLSave.WriteLine("Using The Rom Assistant v0.57");
txtBRLSave.WriteLine();
/// THE LOOP FOR EACH FILE TO BE READ IN FOLDER BEGINS.
FileInfo[] files = dir1.GetFiles();
System.IO.StreamWriter txtBRLSave;
foreach (string file in Directory.EnumerateFiles(fbd.SelectedPath, "*.EXT"))
{
BinaryReader NDSRead2 = new BinaryReader(file);
/// THE ISSUE I HAVE IS WITH "(FILE)" ABOVE... IT KEEPS GETTING FLAGGED IN RED NO MATTER WHAT I PUT IN THERE.
/// BELOW CONTINUES THE BR CODE, AND TXT SAVING CODE, WHICH ISN'T NEEDED FOR THIS QUESTION AS I KNOW IT WORKS.
Pass the string into a stream as follows
foreach(string file in Directory.EnumerateFiles(...
{
using(var stream = new FileStream(file, FileMode.Open))
using(var NDSRead2 = new BinaryReader(stream))
{
// do you stuff
}
}
