Copy file into different folder directory name

Question

I already create code for copy but I don't know how to combine copy code if the filename are not in jpeg,bmp,png or gif it will copy to different folder name(C:\Dump) but if filename extension exists file will be copy into (C:\Destionation).

public static void CopyFile( string[] args ) { CopyFolder( @"C:\source", @"C:\Destination" ); Console.ReadLine(); } static public void ProcessDirectory(DirectoryInfo directory) { foreach (FileInfo file in directory.EnumerateFiles("*.jpg,*.bmp,*.png,*.gif,*.jpeg")) { //how to combin process directory info with copy folder statement// } } static public void CopyFolder( string sourceDir, string destFolder ) { if (!Directory.Exists( destFolder )) Directory.CreateDirectory( destFolder ); string[] files = Directory.GetFiles( sourceDir ); foreach (string file in files) { string name = Path.GetFileName( file ); string dest = Path.Combine( destFolder, name ); File.Copy( file, dest); } }

Try to enumerate all files (Enumerate("*.*") then switch destination according to extension file.Extension.Equals(".jpg") or - better - simply keep a list of them. A case insensitive search for that extension will give tell you if you have to copy in dump" or destination". — Adriano Repetti

You can compare the extension of the files with:

Path.GetExtension(myFilePath);

For example, you can add in your code:

foreach (string file in files) { string name = Path.GetFileName( file ); string dest = Path.Combine( destFolder, name ); if(Path.GetExtension(myFilePath) != "jpg" && Path.GetExtension(myFilePath) != "bmp" && Path.GetExtension(myFilePath) != "png" && Path.GetExtension(myFilePath) != "gif" && Path.GetExtension(myFilePath) != "jpeg" ){ File.Copy( file, dest); } }

You can have a reference in the Path.GetExtension Method documentation.

+1 This would work but Adriano's method in the question comments is a bit simpler and would be how I would choose to solve the problem.

The FileInfo has a property to get the file Extension.

You can enumerate all the files and copy depending on the Extension.

public static void Main(string[] args) { var extensions = new[] { "jpg", "jpeg", "bmp", "png", "gif" }; var source = @"C:\Source"; var destination = @"C:\Destination"; var dump = @"C:\Dump"; CopyFolder(source, destination, dump, extensions); Console.ReadLine(); } public static void CopyFolder( string source, string destination, string dump, string[] extensionsForDestination ) { if (!Directory.Exists(destination)) { Directory.CreateDirectory(destination); } if (!Directory.Exists(dump)) { Directory.CreateDirectory(dump); } var directory = new DirectoryInfo(source); ProcessDirectory(directory, destination, dump, extensionsForDestination); } public static void ProcessDirectory( DirectoryInfo directory, string destination, string dump, string[] extensionsForDestination ) { foreach (FileInfo file in directory.EnumerateFiles()) { // Check if extension matches if(extensionsForDestination.Contains(file.Extension)) { // Copy file to Destination file.CopyTo(destination); } else { // Copy file to Dump file.CopyTo(dump); } } }

thanks for the information..now i will try for delete source folder after copy all files.
