Question

I am trying to write an insert query which the data comes from a text file. But the text file is inside a folder. Let me show the hierarchy.

main folder->many folders->many folders->text file also, has another folder named ORJ.

Each of this folder that contains the text file has another folder called ORJ. I don’t want to process the orj. Only the text folder and the pdf next to it. How can I do it? I found a code and I am trying to modify it. This is C# by the way.

 void ProcessFiles(string path)
{
    Stack<string> stack;
    string[] files;
    string[] directories;
    string dir;

    stack = new Stack();
    stack.Push(path);

    while (stack.Count > 0) {

        // Pop a directory
        dir = stack.Pop();

        files = Directory.GetFiles(dir);
        foreach(string file in files)
        {
            // Process each file
        }

        directories = Directory.GetDirectories(dir);
        foreach(string directory in directories)
        {
            // Push each directory into stack
            stack.Push(directory);
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

Is there a need to do this with a stack?

You could recurse down the tree instead

void ProcessFolder(string path) {

    // Process the files 
    foreach(var file in Directory.GetFiles(path)) {  
        // Process each file  
    }  

    // process the sub folders
   foreach (var subFolder in Directory.GetDirectories(path).Where(fld => System.IO.Path.GetFilename(fld) != "ORJ")) {
        ProcessFolder(subFolder);
    }

}
