Re: counting files that contain a certain string in the filename?
Yes, correct Seth, but you could get bitten by the undesirable 3 character
extension behaviour that is documented in the documentation for the
Directory.GetFi les method.
Given a directory with files named:
A123-Contract Template.xml
A123-Contract Template.xmla
using:
Directory.GetFi les(path, "*-Contract Template.xml"). Length
would result in a count of 2, whereas using a loop will get the correct
count.

ever read the documentation :-)
That also explain why you posted the for...loop and not a sample using
the overload, as with your experience I knew you would know about the
passing in the search pattern. Thanks again for explaining why the
overload is dangerous and also why you posted what you did.

Re: counting files that contain a certain string in the filename?
This is right. I needed something with the EndsWith method since I wanted to
ignore files with extensions like xmla and all those oddballs that would
possibly pose as a security problem as well as invalid file formats. Only
files that end in "-Contract Template.xml" are valid filenames. The next
part of a valid file for loading is to make sure the files with the
"-Contract Template.xml" ending conform to a particular xml schema that is
created with a dataset. Just having a particular ending won't work. Since I
have the filename test done (it did work btw), now it's time to move on to
the valid xml schema is/is not valid test. Another post said to just try
loading the files into a dataset in a try...catch block. Is this right? or
is there a better way to do it?

a schema. It's been a long, long time since I've used it, but it's
called something like XmlSchemaValida tion. If you can't find it let me
know and I'll try to find the project I used it on. This should be
substantially lighter weight than creating a dataset/datatable and
using a try...catch block.

.NET actually exposes a class / method to validate an Xml file against
a schema. It's been a long, long time since I've used it, but it's

Re: counting files that contain a certain string in the filename?
Stephany,
I would consider combining the methods:
Dim _files = Directory.GetFi les(_path, "*-Contract Template.xml")
Dim _count = 0
For Each _file In _files
If _file.EndsWith( "-Contract Template.xml") then _count += 1
Next
As this lets the OS do the heavy lifting for the bulk of the files names in
a folder allowing the for each to iterate over a subset of all files on
disk. Read Directory.GetFi les will return a smaller array...
I would also consider using LINQ:
Dim _count = Aggregate file In ( _
From file In Directory.GetFi les(path, "*" &
"-Contract Template.xml") _
Where file.EndsWith("-Contract Template.xml") _
) Into Count()

Re: counting files that contain a certain string in the filename?
Well, yes Jay. You could also consider a myriad of other techniques as
well. Not that I had said 'try something like', meaning 'similar to' or 'a
variation of'.
I attempted to post a follow up to another post of mine on another branch of
this thread, but for some reason or another it doesn't appear in the thread
(in my reader anyway), that pointed out the gotcha when using the * wildcard
character with Directory.GetFi les(_path, _pattern) and the _pattern
specifies a 3 character extension, e.g., Directory.GetFi les(_path, "*.xml").
This gotcha is spelled out in the documentation for the
Directory.GetFi les(_path, _pattern) method.
I had always interpreted that as meaning that the gotcha applied if one used
the * wildcard character anywhere to the left of the . character. However, a
test I executed a few hours ago shows that it only apply when the pattern
is, in fact, in the form "*.<3 character extension>".
In the OP's case, this renders the loop redundant because:
Directory.GetFi les(_path, "*-Contract Template.xml")
will return the correct result.
If the call was:
Directory.GetFi les(_path, "*.xml")
then the result would be incorrect if, and only if, the directory contained
other files with extensions that start with .xml, e.g., .xmla, .xmlb, etc.
Even we old hands can stand educated sometimes :)
Now I certainly appreciate your enthusiasm and evangelism and although it is
a valid technique, don't you think LINQ is a bit over the top for the task
at hand. :)

Re: counting files that contain a certain string in the filename?
Directory.GetFi les(_path, "*-Contract Template.xml")
If this is a better way of doing things, then I probably will try this way
instead. Makes more sense to use it this way since I have to find all the
files with that partial name and then validate them to make sure they aren't
a fake of some kind.

Re: counting files that contain a certain string in the filename?
I would keep the loop for the day when Andy's successor changes the criteria
and breaks the algorithm. Of course there is a chance Andy's successor
I don't consider the LINQ over the top as I tend to prefer stating what I
want to do (aggregate the count of files) rather then how specifically to do
it... Also using LINQ its now easy to add other accumulators, such as total
size of the files...
Of course there's the danger of "learn how to use a hammer, and every thing
is a nail"...
