Copy directory with only specific extension files

Question

Hi I have problem in copying only specific extension. My code copy to folder is: Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(oldpath newpath); But I want to copy only specific file extension. Thanks Darma

AFAIK there's no method in the .NET Framework or the VB runtime library which can do this 'out of the box'. We'll therefore need to write a custom method: using System; using System.IO; class Test { static void Main() { string sourceDir = c:\whatever; string destDir = c:\whatever2; CopyDirectory(sourceDir destDir xls); } static void CopyDirectory(string sourceDir string destDir string extension) { string[] filePaths = Directory.GetFiles(sourceDir *. + extension); if (!Directory.Exists(destDir)) { Directory.CreateDirectory(destDir); } foreach(string filePath in filePaths) { string fileName = Path.GetFileName(filePath); File.Copy(filePath String.Format({0}\{1} destDir fileName)); } } }
