Exclude certain file extensions when getting files from a directory
I know, this a old request, but about me it's always important.
if you want exlude a list of file extension: (based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/19961761/1970301)
var exts = new[] { ".mp3", ".jpg" };
public IEnumerable<string> FilterFiles(string path, params string[] exts) {
return
Directory
.GetFiles(path)
.Where(file => !exts.Any(x => file.EndsWith(x, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)));
}
You could try something like this:
var allFiles = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\Path\", "");
var filesToExclude = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\Path\", "*.txt");
var wantedFiles = allFiles.Except(filesToExclude);
You should filter these files yourself, you can write something like this:
var files = Directory.GetFiles(jobDir).Where(name => !name.EndsWith(".xml"));
