filename in a variable

[Matta25]

Hello all,
I'm very new to VB in general. I'm using VB.net.
I have many *.txt files I need to open and read a line.
How can I tell VB.net to find the *.txt files in a c:\test folder and place the whole name (and or Path) in to a varaiable.
Thanks

Have a look at the System.IO.Directory.GetFiles method

Following ca8msm's advice and using Intellisense coupled with the property grid set to show dynamic help, I managed to put this together:

  Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

    Dim path As String = "C:\Windows\Internet Logs\"
    Dim di As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(path)
    Dim fi() As System.IO.FileInfo = di.GetFiles("*.txt")
    For a As Integer = 0 To fi.Length - 1
      ListBox1.Items.Add(fi(a).Name)
    Next

  End Sub

Hope this helps.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that that does not give you exactly what you want - but it is very close.


Hope this helps.
