Hello I am trying to read from multiple directories of xml files and select certain ones to be placed in one folder. Everything goes well until I get an error message at the "File.WriteAllText" function. I verified the directory being written to does exist. 4cenUs.xml is also the first file that is suppose to be written to the directory.

Below is the code
It says:

can not find part of the path at C:\pg\XMLPull\xmlFiles2015\4cenUS.xml

DirectoryInfo di = Directory.CreateDirectory(@"C:\pg\XMLPull\xmlFiles2015\");

var getFiles = Directory.GetFiles(@"\\Company\file\","*xml",SearchOption.AllDirectories).ToList();

            DirectoryInfo di = Directory.CreateDirectory(;C:\pg\XMLPull\xmlFiles2015\);
           getFiles.ForEach(file =>
           {
               var fileContents = File.ReadAllText(file);

               if (!fileContents.Contains(Diagnostics<systemname>))

                   return;
               else

                       File.WriteAllText(C:\pg\XMLPull\xmlFiles52015\ + Path.GetFileName(file), fileContents)
</pre>

You are getting error like " C:\pg\XMLPull\xmlFiles2015\4cenUS.xml" but you used path in your code as "C:\pg\XMLPull\xmlFiles52015\". If you see closely you are missing "5" in "xmlFiles52015".

Please cross check your path is completely correct.

Solution 1

C#

else
   File.WriteAllText(@"C:\pg\XMLPull\xmlFiles52015\" + Path.GetFileName(file), fileContents);

There is a typo. You could put the root directory in a string const to avoid this kind of problem.
