read multiple files

[suntec]

Hi!

I have a real simple problem :) I wrote an application in VB.NET and I need to loop through multiple files. Now my code looks like this:

Private Files() As String = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\Data", "*.spe")

which allows only one file to be opened. I have 12 such files in the directory and I would like to transform the above function to be able to load 12 files. in the old VB i did it like this:

Setfilename = "DirName"                  ' sets the file directory from where the images are loaded
Filepath = "filesDirectory\" + Setfilename + "\"                      ' get in hard-code the directory path
Filename = Filepath + "B0012.spe"                                    ' get the first file in the folder
Tsteps = 12                                                          ' numbers of images that are processed
Bin = 512 / 16                                                       ' binned pixels (gives also the matrix real dimensions in cm)

Can someone please help with this problem.

Thanks in advance

One way to do it is with a For loop (however, I believe VB.NET does offer controls that work with directories automatically).

I created a new project real quick, with one Form. I placed a ListBox (ListBox1) and a Button (Button1) in the form. the ListBox I am using to load the list of files into. Then I created a subroutine named loadFiles (this isn't necessary, you could simply place the code from loadFiles into the Button1_click event).

Here is the code for the loadFiles subroutine:

Private Sub loadFiles()
        Dim fileCount As Integer = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\Data", "*.spe").Length
        Dim arrFiles() As String = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\Data", "*.spe")
        Dim i As Integer
        For i = 0 To fileCount - 1
            Dim currentFile As String = arrFiles(i)
            ListBox1.Items.Add(currentFile)
        Next

    End Sub

In the code, I declared a variable "fileCount" which is the length of the amount of files located in the specified directory.
Next I declared an array "arrFiles" and assigned it to System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\Data", "*.spe"). What this does is take all of the data and place it into an array.
then declared "i" as integer to be used for the loop, and set up the For loop: "For i = 0 To fileCount - 1"
declared another variable "currentFile" inside the loop which is assigned to the index "i" of the arrFiles array.
then finally add currentFile to ListBox1

then I placed "loadFiles()" inside the Button1_click event.

this code adds the name of each file in the directory (including its path) to the listbox.

Hope that helps.

Thanks diyerxa for the quick response!

I place now the entire code for the application. Initially was made in VB6 and now ported to .NET.

'array with all "*.SPE" files in data directory

    'Private [B]Files()[/B] As String = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\Data", "*.spe")
    Private Sub loadFiles()
        Dim fileCount As Integer = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\Data", "*.spe").Length
        Dim arrFiles() As String = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\Data", "*.spe")
        Dim i As Integer
        For i = 0 To fileCount - 1
            Dim currentFile As String = arrFiles(i)
            ListBox1.Items.Add(currentFile)
        Next

    End Sub

Private Sub frmSPE_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim fN As Integer, fM As Integer = [B]UBound(Files)[/B]            'the number of "*.SPE" files in directory
        If fM = -1 Then MsgBox("no *.SPE are found..." & Chr(13) & "By!", MsgBoxStyle.Information) : End

        Dim Ch As Integer = FreeFile()                              'free channel number for data file access

        Dim Ampl(0, 0, 0) As Single, fA As Byte, fAname As String   'amplitude matrix
        Dim oFile As System.IO.StreamWriter, Word As String
        For fN = 0 To fM
            FileOpen(Ch, [B]Files(fN)[/B], OpenMode.Binary, OpenAccess.Read)
            'read the header data (version 1.6)
            FileGet(Ch, DataType, 43)                               'xdim
            If DataType < 0 Then : Xm = 65535 + DataType : Else : Xm = DataType : End If
            FileGet(Ch, DataType, 657)                              'ydim
            If DataType < 0 Then : Ym = 65535 + DataType : Else : Ym = DataType : End If
            FileGet(Ch, Zm, 1447)                                   'NumFrames
            FileGet(Ch, DataType, 109)                              'datatype

                    For Xn = 0 To Xm * Ym * Zm - 1
                        Data(Xn) = Data1(Xn)
                    Next Xn
                Case Else   'Short
                    'read data from file
                    ReDim Data(Xm * Ym * Zm - 1), Data2(Xm * Ym * Zm - 1) : FileGet(Ch, Data2, 4101)
                    For Xn = 0 To Xm * Ym * Zm - 1
                        If Data2(Xn) < 0 Then : Data(Xn) = 65535 + Data2(Xn) : Else : Data(Xn) = Data2(Xn) : End If
                    Next Xn
            End Select
            FileClose(Ch)

As you see the files() was previously declared. I need to update the rest of the code to match the value of the previous files. It will be nice if you could help me to finish this task.

Many thanks for the support until now!

my code reads files in directory and process them. It also writes into files created. what i need now is for it to monitor the directory for new files all the time and only take intervals of 10 seconds. please help.
