FileWather Path Error [modified][Solved]

Hi Guys. I have written a Windows Service with a FileWatcher. Now, when there are new files in the directory it picks the files up fine but when it has to copy then out into a new directory I get an error of The given path's format is not supported. Below is the copy function.

try
{
    string path = fsw.Path;
    string outPath = "C:\\TestDir2\\";
    char[] trimchars = new char[] { '.', 't', 'x', 't' };
    DirectoryInfo dinfo = new DirectoryInfo(path);
    foreach (FileInfo finfo in dinfo.GetFiles("*.*"))
    {
        File.Copy(finfo.FullName, outPath + finfo.FullName, true);
    }
}

It stops on the line: FIle.Copy(finfo.FullName, outPath + finfo.FullName, true);. Anybody have any ideas?

Did you debug to see what is the value in the variables and are they similar to what is expected as Copy params?
By the way what is the error? do you get an exception. If yes, which one?

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

Yes, I have debugged it and low and behold, I missed it, should not have used outPath + finfo.FullName, should have used outPath + finfo.Name.

Silly mistake.

Thanks anyway.

Help others by editing your original post add [solved] to the title and at the end anotate the solution.
There are those of flamable nature who might jump at a silly mistake, we all make them, so pre-empt them by telling them.

Thanks. Your original was, as I said, a bit of a silly mistake and in that scenario it is better to tell others that you have realised what you did wrong.

If everyone would mark the thread headers with the solutions the forums would be easier to follow.

Hi,

I have the following code

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(strMainPath);
            string allRead = sr.ReadToEnd();
            sr.Close();
            regMatch = textBox1.Text;
            if (Regex.IsMatch(allRead, regMatch))
            {
                richTextBox1.Find(regMatch);
                richTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Red;
                richTextBox1.SelectionBackColor = Color.Yellow;
                
            }

from textBoxi.text i am getting the word to search.
It is searching and getting the result, if that word is there
it highlighed.But my problem is to focus on that text in text area.
If the file is very large ,i have to scroll to findout where is the highlighted text.Instead of that i want to focus on that text.
Is there any way?
Pls help

Yes it bloody did!

I had to do lots of copy/paste scroll test stuff. I don't just make these answer up off the cuff you know. Research is the answer. And Gin. Never underestimate Gin.

Sure it is. I did appreciate your latest research report[^].

FWIW: I tend to perform my research in advance, those three minutes may prove to be very critical.

Gin is fuel, it is essential, couldn't do without; it is not an excuse for a slow down.

use the ScrollToCaret() method to scroll to the current cursor position.

BTW Is the file content in allRead copied into richTextBox1? You do know that you can load a file directly into the control?

Hi,

You should post this in the Mobile Development section.

You need to contact your device manufacturer to obtain an SDK or utility for that device.

Generally, that should be possibile. How, this depends by the document type.

I was going to have a go for reposting, but I see you haven't had any replies at all.

You may be better off asking someone directly who may know the answer such as the author of this[^] article.

How is this code going to remove a virus?

Anyway

c: in your path is what's wrong.
You can only access shared maps / drives over network and those normally don't have the ':' in it

I know the exact location of the files.

Is there any way I can do this without mapping the drives? I have over 2000 PCs that this has to browse to.

This all comes down to the security on the pc's themself.
If access is blocked on them there is no way for your program to access them.
You can't overwrite the security.

Admin account does have some more rights but still need to obey the security rules set by that pc (or domain)
