I have a directory of 27 files. The files end in either 1.txt, 2.txt,
3.txt, or 4.txt.
If I say:
For Each filename As String In
Directory.GetFi les("C:\TSA\DOW NLOADS\TRX\PERF ORMANCE_DATA\DO WNLOAD\",
"*1.TXT")
Debug.WriteLine (filename)
Next
It prints out the following:
C:\TSA\DOWNLOAD S\TRX\PERFORMAN CE_DATA\DOWNLOA D\E310920041.tx t
C:\TSA\DOWNLOAD S\TRX\PERFORMAN CE_DATA\DOWNLOA D\E311020041.tx t
C:\TSA\DOWNLOAD S\TRX\PERFORMAN CE_DATA\DOWNLOA D\HEI1736809200 44.txt

C:\TSA\DOWNLOAD S\TRX\PERFORMAN CE_DATA\DOWNLOA D\R703320909200 41.txt
Obviously, this is not correct. If my search string is "*2.TXT", "*3.TXT",
or "*4.TXT" it prints out alright. Has anyone seen this behavior before in
Directory.GetFi les?

The odd part is, if I change the code to:
Dim sFiles() As String =
Directory.GetFi les("C:\TSA\DOW NLOADS\TRX\PERF ORMANCE_DATA\DO WNLOAD\",
"*.txt")
For Each filename As String In sFiles
If filename.EndsWi th("1.txt") Then Debug.WriteLine (filename)
Next
Then it prints out the correct information. Why would a search string of
*1.txt return things that don't end in 1.txt?

Optic,
All of the "wrong" files have long file names, which suggests to me that
their short file name might be something ~1, which would match the *1.TXT".
You can use "dir /x" under the Command Prompt to see the 8.3 file names.
Unfortunately I don't know of any workarounds other then checking the names
returned from Directory.GetFi les. Note this is not to suggest there are not
other ways of limiting the search to long names...
Hope this helps

I'm using Directory.GetFiles to enumerate files in a directory. The problem
is if you have to enumerate all files + subdirectories recursively, it takes
too much memory, and it fails.
Is there another way to enumerate files and subdirectories recursively which
doesn't take too much memory in CS?

For instance, in DirectoryInfo, you have GetDirectories and GetFiles ....
In Directory, you have Directory.GetFileSystemEntries(path), but I would

and which entry is a file, and make a recursive list of the Directory

I haven't found any overloads that allow any such parameter. The way I am

foreach (string d in Directory.GetDirectories("C:\\")) {
foreach (string f in Directory.GetFiles(d, "*.exe")) {
MessageBox.Show(f);
}

Hi,
I've been trying to use Directory.GetFiles() and also
DirectoryInfo.GetFiles() to list files on a remote server using
"\\server_name\dir_name" like paths. It works fine on a test windows app, but
I get an access error message when the code is running on a asp.net app.
First I thought it was just a matter of credentials, so I started to use
windows authentication and impersonate the current user, but I still got the
same message.

In my .NET 2.0 VS 2005 VB application, I'm using Directory.GetFiles(path) to
get all the files in the directory. However, I'm getting an error regarding
"Illegal character in Path", even though I can copy, etc the file using the

I can trap the error, but then this traps the entire GetFiles() function,
not just the one bad file.
Is there a way to just trap for the one bad file and continue on?
