Question

I create a FileInfo array like this

 try
            {
                DirectoryInfo Dir = new DirectoryInfo(DirPath);
                FileInfo[] FileList = Dir.GetFiles("*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);


                foreach (FileInfo FI in FileList)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(FI.FullName);
                }

            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
            }

And this array holds all the file names in folder = DirPath

I thought of looping through the FileInfo array and copy it to a String array. Is this ok or is there a much cleaner method ?

Answer 1

Using LINQ:

FileList.Select(f => f.FullName).ToArray();

Alternatively, using Directory you can get filenames directly.

string[] fileList = Directory.GetFiles(DirPath, "*.*", 
                                       SearchOption.AllDirectories);
