Hi,

I have an idea to develop one windows application, there are more number of files in a folder these files should split into two different folders
by using the windows applications.
example if file name is MALE means it should move to male folder, if female means it should move to female folder.
How to perform this, give me some ideas, any examples, sample articles.

Thanks,

SATHIYANARAYANAN

0	Hi, here is one way you can do this. List all the files of the directory that you want to move from. By setting the checkboxlist datasource as all files. Selecting the files you can move to your destination folder. Eg: .aspx Page: <asp:CheckBoxList ID="listfiles" runat="server" /> <asp:Button ID="btngetfiles" runat="server" Text="GetFiles" OnClick="GetFiles" /> <asp:Button ID="btn1" runat="server" Text="Move to folder1" OnClick="MoverToFolder1" />   <asp:Button ID="btn2" runat="server" Text="Move to Folder2" OnClick="MoveToFolder2" /> <br /> <asp:Label ID="lblMessage" runat="server" /> .aspx.cs : string dir = string.Empty; string newdir = string.Empty; protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { dir = Server.MapPath("~/"); } protected void GetFiles(object sender, EventArgs e) { listfiles.DataSource = new DirectoryInfo(dir).GetFiles(); listfiles.DataBind(); } protected void MoverToFolder1(object sender, EventArgs e) { newdir = Server.MapPath("~/NewFolder1/"); // This is my first folder into which i want to move the selected files foreach (ListItem item in listfiles.Items) { if (item.Selected == true) { File.Move(dir + listfiles.SelectedItem, newdir + listfiles.SelectedItem); lblMessage.Text = "File Moved successfully !"; } } } protected void MoveToFolder2(object sender, EventArgs e) { newdir = Server.MapPath("~/NewFolder2/"); // You can create newfolder2 explicity or from code behind. This is my second folder foreach(ListItem item in listfiles.Items) { File.Move(dir + listfiles.SelectedValue, newdir + listfiles.SelectedValue); lblMessage.Text = "File Moved successfully !"; } } If this is not the appropriate answer, let me know.

Hi, here is one way you can do this.

List all the files of the directory that you want to move from. By setting the checkboxlist datasource as all files. Selecting the files you can move to your destination folder.

Eg:

.aspx Page:


<asp:CheckBoxList ID="listfiles" runat="server" />  

    <asp:Button ID="btngetfiles" runat="server" Text="GetFiles" OnClick="GetFiles" />

    <asp:Button ID="btn1" runat="server" Text="Move to folder1" OnClick="MoverToFolder1" /> &nbsp; <asp:Button ID="btn2" runat="server" Text="Move to Folder2" OnClick="MoveToFolder2" />      

      <br />

      <asp:Label ID="lblMessage"  runat="server" />

.aspx.cs :


    string dir = string.Empty;

    string newdir = string.Empty;

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        dir = Server.MapPath("~/");

    }



    protected void GetFiles(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        listfiles.DataSource = new DirectoryInfo(dir).GetFiles();

        listfiles.DataBind();



    }



   



    protected void MoverToFolder1(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        newdir = Server.MapPath("~/NewFolder1/"); // This is my first folder into which i want to move the selected files

        foreach (ListItem item in listfiles.Items)

        {

            if (item.Selected == true)

            {

                File.Move(dir + listfiles.SelectedItem, newdir + listfiles.SelectedItem);

                lblMessage.Text = "File Moved successfully !";

            }

        }

    }





    protected void MoveToFolder2(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        newdir = Server.MapPath("~/NewFolder2/"); // You can create newfolder2 explicity or from code behind. This is my second folder



        foreach(ListItem item in listfiles.Items)

        {

        File.Move(dir + listfiles.SelectedValue, newdir + listfiles.SelectedValue);

        lblMessage.Text = "File Moved successfully !";

        }

    }

If this is not the appropriate answer, let me know.

Awesome Coding !! :)

0	Ya i got it, but the function is the files should be moved automatically, not user make sure to move to desired folder. when user click button it should moved all files automatically to respective folders. In database there is a column conditioncheck(name) in that ' _male', '$female', function should check from the DB if file name is '' _xxx'' it should move to respective folders. like this to be done. i think this can be done using split string method.
