Build the File Names in a source directory using C# in 1.1
We can use the System.Collection.Specialized.StringCollection class object to Add a range of values and then use its CopyTo method to obtain the single dimensional array.
public string[] BuildFileList(string SourceLocation, string[] FileExtensions)
{
System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection FileListRequired = new System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection();
//If it is a File
if (File.Exists(SourceLocation))
{
FileListRequired.Add(SourceLocation);
}
else //If it is a Directory
{
foreach(string FileExtn in FileExtensions)
{
FileListRequired.AddRange(Directory.GetFiles(SourceLocation,string.Concat("*.",FileExtn)));
}
}
string[] FileList = new string[FileListRequired.Count];
FileListRequired.CopyTo(FileList, 0);
return FileList;
}
