Question

I’m developing a console application that parse xml files and generate a txt file. I have created the file path to store the new file, but this is having white spaces, like this:

string filePath = "C:\\Program Files\\my path\\fileName.txt"

but I’m creating the path using:

string filePath = Path.Combine(temp, "fileName.txt");

while temp is the previous path. And when I call:

StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(filePath);

Is giving this exception:
Could not find a part of the path: filePath

Can someone help me with this issue?? how can I create the file with this path?

Answer 1

there looks like a problem with you file path

try@"C:\Program Files\my path\fileName.txt"

Note: You’ve updated your question with the changes mentioned in the comments.

Your issue is probably that ‘my path’ doesn’t exist as this console application works OK for me when run as an administrator. When not run I get an UnathorizedAccessException

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            var temp = @"C:\\Program Files\\my path\\";
            string filePath = Path.Combine(temp, "fileName.txt");
            StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(filePath);
            Console.WriteLine("I got here");
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("I didn't");
            //
        }

    }
}
