I have a really quick question. My program actually downloads a zip file then extracts it onto their desktop. But I need an uninstall feature for it, which is basically deleting multiple folders and containing files. How can I do this in vb.net?
If all of your folders are contained in a single folder, it should be pretty straight forward.
Dim path As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop) & "\YOURPATH"
System.IO.Directory.Delete(path, True)
That will delete your root directory, and all the directories and files below it. You could just call this several times over if your files and directories are not all in a single root directory like "YOURPATH" in the example. This will spare you from having to remove each file individually.
The .NET IO unit has a two commands that should let you do the trick:
System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories("C:\\Program Files\\Your Directory\\*.*");
System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("C:\\Program Files\\Your Directory\\*.*");
I would write a method that takes the name of a directory and uses the "GetFiles" routine to get all of the files and to delete them using System.IO.File.Delete(path) in a foreach loop. Then, run a foreach loop on the result of the GetDirectories() command calling the function recursively.
Update: Steve Danner points out that the System.IO.Directory namespace has a Delete method so you don't need to go through the loops I talk about here. His answer is the right one and should be voted up. Mine, at this point, is more of a curiosity (although thank you to the person who gave me an upvote ;0).
Your are looking for DirectoryInfo, use it like this:
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo(path)
di.Delete(True)
Dim path As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop) & "\YOURPATH"
System.IO.Directory.Delete(path, True)

I have nodes that are structured like folder, subfolder and files. Any folder can have a relationship with a subfolder, which can have a relationship with another subfolder, which can have a relationship with files. I'd like to iterate through every folder to find every subfolder and files inside a given folder.
In one query, I'd like to be able to get every file that is inside a folder or in his subfolders. I can't find any way to do it with Cypher. I saw FOREACH and UNWIND but I don't think it helps me.
Assuming you have labelled the nodes accordingly as Folder and File, the following query will fetch all the files belonging to the starting folder, directly or through a chain of one or more sub-folders:
MATCH(ParentFolder:Folder)-[*]->(childFile:File)
WHERE ParentFolder.name='Folder1'
RETURN childFile
If you haven't used Labels (highly recommend using them), you can look for all the paths starting with the specified folder and find all the last nodes in that path.
MATCH(ParentFolder)-[*]->(childFile)
WHERE ParentFolder.name='Folder1' AND NOT (childFile)-->()
RETURN childFile
The second query will fetch all the terminal nodes, even if they are folders. You would have to use labels or add filters in the where clause to ensure only files are fetched for childFile.
Both versions of the query work based on varying length paths. The wild character(*) retrieves all paths of any length starting from ParentFolder.
I'm writing a program that can upload files to multiple FTP servers.
There is a table, at the top row there are the sites, and at the far left column there are the files. through this table I define what should be uploaded to where.
the program is already working, but what i want to do now is to upload the files parallely on each site. so when i hit start each column will go through the rows on its own and upload the files to that site if the content of the specific cell says so. sites can be any number between 1 and 50. and all uploads should be in parallel. (one file at the time for each site)
what i am asking is what is the best way to handle such thing? i know i have to set up multiple uploaders, but what is confusing me is how to keep track what each site is doing. the only thing i can come up with is an array of arrays. where each position is for a site, and the array at that position defines what file is beeing uploaded and all the informations it needs for that. would that be a good solution?
thanks!
You can put your data into array then use for loop
use this code
$web = ['www.firstSite.com','www.secondSite.com']
$user = ['firstUser','secondUser']
$pass = ['firstPass','secondPass']
for($i=0;$i<sizeof($web);$i++)
{
$conn_id = ftp_connect($web[$i]);
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id,$user[$i],$pass[$i]);
if (ftp_put($conn_id, $server_file, $local_file, FTP_BINARY))
{echo "Success";}
else {echo "Failed";}
}
You can make a custom class and use a List(Of SiteFiles) for a collection of them. You iterate the sites data and create a new SiteFiles object for each site and add the files names to the Files property that need to be uploaded to that site. Then when your done making this List(Of SiteFiles) then you can iterate each file in SiteFiles.Files for each SiteFiles object and use threading/async methods if needed and upload the files. This gives you a neat and tidy way to organize what your doing.
Public Class SiteFiles
Public Property Site As String
Public Property Files As New List(Of String)
End Class
User is selecting rather hefty single XML files via an NSOpenPanel. The application is making moderate changes to the file so I'd like to include an option of creating a backup in a subfolder based on the directory the original file was selected. Creating the new subfolder is no problem but does anybody have a good way to to create a backup of said foo.xml, is there a practice for such thing or is it as simple as creating a duplicate and renaming it foo.back01.xml?
Not sure, how much this Approach will fit with your requirement, but this is what i was doing,
-- Have a directory in the Temporary folder of the System : Assuming once the Application is closed all this files will be deleted,
-- To have the uniqueness in the file, generate file name with following pattern , have a function say [+(NSString *) generateFileNameForExtension:(NSString *)extension Create:(bool)bCreate]
Assuming input is .xml and false , it might give fileName something like this,
AppName128908765445.xml , i.e. [AppName][UTCTimeStamp].[Fileextension]
-- Once you think its done, there could be Function call [self addToDeleteList:(NSString *)fileName] which will add a file to delete list,
-- There would be a function, which shall invoke a timer for 1 minute and every one minute it will read all the files gets added into delete list then delete it.
Will share the code with you if needed...
I am looking to get the folder that my website is running under. I have used many different methods within HttpContext.Current.Request but none of them were returning what I was looking for. I can easily get the value using substring but it doesn't look very clean and was wondering if there was a shorthand way of getting the folder.
For example when I use the code.
HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~")
I get C:\ClientProjects\Dev\v10.3\src\MySite
I can use:
HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~").Substring(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~").LastIndexOf("\") + 1)
But this seems really bloated way to get the folder I'm running under.
You will be able to get the directory name from a System.IO.DirectoryInfo object.
Dim info As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~"))
Dim name As String = info.Name ' name will have the value "MySite"
I need to make a bunch of redirect pages as I've recently updated my web site which previously used .html files and now all the files are .aspx. I have a tab-delimited file containing a list of original filenames and the corresponding new filename.
It seems like there should be a language out there that I should be able to create a file using the first column for the filename and insert the second column as its content with some additional text for the 301 redirect.
Could someone point me in the right direction as to what language(s) would be able to accomplish this? Also, if you could also point out the name of the method/function I would be using so I know where to begin when creating the file.
I've needed to do this type of thing many times and am willing to learn a new language (Perl, Python, or whatever) to accomplish this, but I just need pointed in the right direction. I am using Windows XP to develop on.
Thank you for your time.
This can be done in a few lines of C# if you already are working with aspx you can process this in the codebehind on a dummy page.
System.IO.StreamReader myreader = new System.IO.StreamReader(Server.MapPath("~/Text.txt"));
while (!myreader.EndOfStream)
{
//9 is Ascii value of Tab bad idea to split if the second set of values might contain tabs but can reconstruct the data if inputString.length >2
string[] inputString = myreader.ReadLine().Split(char.ConvertFromUtf32(9).ToCharArray());
//construct the path to where you want to save the file, or if the filename is the full path all the better
System.IO.StreamWriter filemaker = new System.IO.StreamWriter(#"C:\" + inputString[0]);
filemaker.Write(inputString[1]);
filemaker.Close();
}
