If you ever want to get information about files stored in a particular map or directory, you can find out how it is done here. With a little modification you could turn this snippet into a DOS DIR-command or a UNIX(LINUX?) ls-command.
Get info from files in a directory in C#
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO; //for file functions
namespace DirCommand
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// get info for the c: directory or specify another
//
DirectoryInfo dirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(@"c:\");
FileInfo[] files = dirInfo.GetFiles(); // get a list of fileInfo
// dump it to the console
Console.WriteLine("Name:\t\tSize:\t\tCreation date:");
foreach (FileInfo file in files)
{
Console.Write(file.Name.PadRight(16));
Console.Write(file.Length.ToString().PadRight(16));
Console.WriteLine("\t" + file.CreationTime.ToString());
// add any method of FileInfo you like here
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
