Hi,

I am trying to add all text files in folder Source but get an exception error when I run the code.

I have used:

String sFile = "@c:\\Source\\*.txt";

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance:confused:

Solution 1

Trot one problem is that you are using the "@" system which essentially means "ignore special characters and treat everything as a string literal". So what this means is...

string sFile = @"c:\Source\*.txt";

Should fix your first issue. Alternatively, you can remove the "@" and leave everything the same.

Unable to add comments. Getting some server error so posting as an answer.

Based on the comment to the answer:
Looks like you did not follow what David suggested.
Either use:

C#

string sFile = @"c:\Source\*.txt";

OR

C#

string sFile = "c:\\Source\\*.txt";
