You must have a "filePath" variable declared elsewhere, you're not using the filepath variable returned from GetFiles. Also the GetFiles you are calling is not your own GetFiles function but the GetFiles on the Directory object.

The code really doesn't make any sense and needs re-written. Go through a book on c# and get familiar with the fundamentals and problems like this will become simpler.

get the list of text files and process each file as below

C#

string[] files =
            Directory.GetFiles(@"E:\1150\1150\","*.txt", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
foreach(string file in files )
{
    using(StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(file))
    {
      string text = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
      // do something with file content
    }
}

Quote:
we have create one test.csv file in that test file we have 2 rows
1. folderName and
2. nameofFile

string[] files contains array of File Paths (both directory and filename is in the string), read Path.GetFileName Method[^] and Path.GetDirectoryName Method[^] which will help you to get filename and Directory form path string.

Now We came to Final Task;
writing csv is simple, for example

C#

using(var w = new StreamWriter(path))// path of csv file
{
    foreach(string filepath in files ) // loop each file path 
    {
        var directory= Path.GetDirectoryName(file);
        var fileName= Path.GetFileName(file);
        var line = string.Format("{0},{1}", directory, fileName);
        w.WriteLine(line);
        w.Flush();
    }
}

hope this helps you

Solution 2

Solution 1 from DamithSL does what you ask - it reads filename and path and creates a csv file .
If you are looking for more than that to do with csv files ;one nice library is FileHelpers - do a search and you will find it.
