How to Filter files that are modified in a specific day using C#
Here is a snippet using C# and LINQ, which will retrieve the files from a directory for a specific date
private static void GetFilesFromDirectory(string DirPath)
{
try
{
DirectoryInfo Dir = new DirectoryInfo(DirPath);
FileInfo[] FileList = Dir.GetFiles("*.*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly );
var query = from FI in FileList
where FI.LastWriteTime.Date == DateTime.Now.Date
select FI.FullName + " " + FI.LastWriteTime;
foreach (string s1 in query )
{
Console.WriteLine(s1);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message );
}
}
public int Compare(object x, object y)
ReplyDelete{
FileInfo File1 = default(FileInfo);
FileInfo File2 = default(FileInfo);
File1 = (FileInfo)x;
File2 = (FileInfo)y;
return (DateTime.Compare(File1.LastWriteTime, File2.LastWriteTime))*(-1);
}
after you get all the files in the directory, use array sort. below is the code:
DirectoryInfo dirinfo = default(DirectoryInfo);
FileInfo[] allFiles = null;
dirinfo = new DirectoryInfo(strArtworkDirectory);
allFiles = dirinfo.GetFiles();
Array.Sort(allFiles, new clsCompareFileInfo()); // this sort file by modified date desc
dirinfo = null;
//int count = 0; //test for the break --it works
foreach (FileInfo fi in allFiles)
{
if (fi.LastWriteTime > DateTime.Today.AddHours(-2))
{
//Console.WriteLine(fl.FullName.ToString());
///do sth.
}
else
break;
////count = count + 1;
}
allFiles = null;
dirinfo = null;
