How to check if a file exists in a folder?
Use FileInfo.Exists
Property:
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(ProcessingDirectory);
FileInfo[] TXTFiles = di.GetFiles("*.xml");
if (TXTFiles.Length == 0)
{
log.Info("no files present")
}
foreach (var fi in TXTFiles)
log.Info(fi.Exists);
or File.Exists
Method:
string curFile = @"c:\temp\test.txt";
Console.WriteLine(File.Exists(curFile) ? "File exists." : "File does not exist.");
To check file exists or not you can use
System.IO.File.Exists(path)
This is a way to see if any XML-files exists in that folder, yes.
To check for specific files use File.Exists(path)
, which will return a boolean indicating wheter the file at path
exists.
Since nobody said how to check if the file exists AND get the current folder the executable is in (Working Directory):
if (File.Exists(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + @"\YourFile.txt")) {
//do stuff
}
The @"\YourFile.txt"
is not case sensitive, that means stuff like @"\YoUrFiLe.txt"
and @"\YourFile.TXT"
or @"\yOuRfILE.tXt"
is interpreted the same.
