Question

I am using the example from: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.driveinfo(v=vs.80).aspx

To print drive information to a console window. I want to check if d.Name contains “T”. If it does, I wan’t to run an app. If it doesn’t do nothing. Here is the code I’ve been trying. (The default code from the above linked example prints to a command window)

(d.Name.IsLetter(T)) is the part I’m having trouble with. Can anyone advise?

DriveInfo[] allDrives = DriveInfo.GetDrives();

    foreach (DriveInfo d in allDrives)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Drive {0}", d.Name);

         if (d.Name.IsLetter(T))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Run App.");
                notePad.Start();
            }//end if
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Do Nothing.");
            }//end else
        Console.WriteLine("  File type: {0}", d.DriveType);
        if (d.IsReady == true)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("  Volume label: {0}", d.VolumeLabel);
            Console.WriteLine("  File system: {0}", d.DriveFormat);
            Console.WriteLine(
                "  Available space to current user:{0, 15} bytes",
                d.AvailableFreeSpace);

            Console.WriteLine(
                "  Total available space:          {0, 15} bytes",
                d.TotalFreeSpace);

            Console.WriteLine(
                "  Total size of drive:            {0, 15} bytes ",
                d.TotalSize);
        }//end if
    }//end for

}//end main

Answer 1

You want d.Name.Contains("T")

There is a Char.IsLetter() method, but that only checks whether the argument is a “letter” (and not digit or symbol etc)
