I’m watching a directory using FileSystemWatcher.
When a file is copied into that directory – my watcher grabs it and performs multiple actions with it.
My problem is that when a Microsoft Office file is opened, a temporary file is created in the watched directory. I can’t find a way to ignore these files.
Though the temporary file name is well known (i.e. abcd.docx –> ~$cd.docx), I need a better way than this to identify that file.
Any ideas?
These temporary files are marked as hidden.
Therefore, you can ignore all hidden files. (Call
File.GetAttributes)
