Question

I have a directory structure to sift through and I need to be able to specify the top-level folder, a typical example would be:

c:\folder1\1\targetfolder
c:\folder1\2\targetfolder
c:\folder1\3\targetfolder
c:\folder1\4\targetfolder

I want to obtain each file in the folder called targetfolder, specifying this seems to fail:

Directory.GetFiles("c:\folder1\*\targetfolder");

Is there a quick and easy way of achieving this?

Answer 1

Tried with this and works, but you could get false positives if there are file or folders inside your root path with the same pattern

var files = Directory.GetFiles("c:\\folder1", "*.*", 
        SearchOption.AllDirectories).Where(n => n.Contains("\\targetfolder\\"));
