Question

This maybe a simple question, but how do i get all files in a folder except the .zip extension. I have a foreach loop as follow :

foreach (DirectoryInfo directory in directories)
{
    foreach (FileInfo file in directory.GetFiles("*.*"))
    {
    }
}

Should I do an if statement inside second loop and check if (file.Name.contains("zip")) then continue or is there a better way?

FileInfo has a property Extension which will give you the string representing of the extension for each file.

Edit:
You can use this LINQ query to simplify your code:

IEnumerable<FileInfo> files = directory.GetFiles("*.*").Where(file => !string.Equals(file.Extension, ".zip", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase));
