Question

I’m using a custom class to store information about files found in a directory based upon a regex, and I need to return these filelists from a method. Here’s some psuedocode of how it’s currently working:

class FileList {
//propertes of the file here, such as regex name, source folder and whether it needs to be deleted after copying
}

..
..

foreach (file in directory that matches regex)
{
    new filelist
    //Set all the properties
}

return allfilelists;

But how do I return the all the lists, or is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks

Answer 1

Why not return a list of FileLists?

var allfilelists = new List<FileList >();
foreach (file in directory that matches regex)
{
    new filelist
    //Set all the properties
    allfilelists.Add(fileList);
}
