get all files in directory code example

Example 1: python get all file names in directory

import glob
print(glob.glob("/home/adam/*.txt"))

Example 2: display all files in a directory linux

ls command list computer files in a directory in Unix OS with next structure:
ls [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Examples:
ls -l #display all files in current directory with  (-l) long format.
ls -a /directory #display all hidden files in given directory that start with .

Example 3: read folder c#

string mydocpath=Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);     
      StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
      foreach (string txtName in Directory.GetFiles(@"D:\Links","*.txt"))
      {
        using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(txtName))
        {
          sb.AppendLine(txtName.ToString());
          sb.AppendLine("= = = = = =");
          sb.Append(sr.ReadToEnd());
          sb.AppendLine();
          sb.AppendLine();   
        }
      }
      using (StreamWriter outfile=new StreamWriter(mydocpath + @"\AllTxtFiles.txt"))
      {    
        outfile.Write(sb.ToString());
      }

Example 4: get the names of all files in a folder

In MS Windows it works like this:

1. Hold the "Shift" key, right-click the folder containing the files and select "Open Command Window Here."

2. Type "dir /b > filenames.txt" (without quotation marks) in the Command Window. Press "Enter."

3. Inside the folder there should now be a file filenames.txt containing names of all the files etc. inside this folder.

4. Copy and paste this file list into your Word document.

Example 5: python get list of files in path

from os import listdir
from os.path import isfile, join
onlyfiles = [f for f in listdir(mypath) if isfile(join(mypath, f))]

Example 6: C# get all files in directory

//path is the path of the directory to get files from
//searchPattern is to get specific files. If you want only exe files you enter *.exe

private static IEnumerable<string> GetAllFiles(string path, string searchPattern)
        {
            return Directory.EnumerateFiles(path, searchPattern).Union(
            Directory.EnumerateDirectories(path).SelectMany(d =>
            {
                try
                {
                    return GetAllFiles(d, searchPattern);
                } catch(Exception e)
                {
                    return Enumerable.Empty<string>();
                }
            }));
        }
