The following example opens or creates a file, determines its full path, and determines and displays the full contents of the directory.
using System; using System.IO; public class DirectoryTest { public static void Main() { // Open an existing file, or create a new one. FileInfo fi = new FileInfo("temp.txt"); // Determine the full path of the file just created. DirectoryInfo di = fi.Directory; // Figure out what other entries are in that directory. FileSystemInfo[] fsi = di.GetFileSystemInfos(); Console.WriteLine("The directory '{0}' contains the following files and directories:", di.FullName); // Print the names of all the files and subdirectories of that directory. foreach (FileSystemInfo info in fsi) Console.WriteLine(info.Name); } }
import System.*;
import System.IO.*;
public class DirectoryTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Open an existing file, or create a new one.
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo("temp.txt");
// Determine the full path of the file just created.
DirectoryInfo di = fi.get_Directory();
// Figure out what other entries are in that directory.
FileSystemInfo fsi[] = di.GetFileSystemInfos();
Console.WriteLine("The directory '{0}' contains the following files "
+ " and directories:", di.get_FullName());
// Print the names of all the files and subdirectories of
// that directory.
for (int iCtr = 0; iCtr < fsi.length; iCtr++) {
FileSystemInfo info = (FileSystemInfo)fsi.get_Item(iCtr);
Console.WriteLine(info.get_Name());
}
} //main
} //DirectoryTest
import System; import System.IO; public class DirectoryTest { public static function Main() : void { // Open an existing file, or create a new one. var fi : FileInfo = new FileInfo("temp.txt"); // Determine the full path of the file just created. var di : DirectoryInfo = fi.Directory; // Figure out what other entries are in that directory. var fsi : FileSystemInfo[] = di.GetFileSystemInfos(); Console.WriteLine("The directory '{0}' contains the following files and directories:", di.FullName); // Print the names of all the files and subdirectories of that directory. for (var i : int in fsi) Console.WriteLine(fsi[i].Name); } } DirectoryTest.Main();
