file-management

I am trying to remove a large number of files from a location (by large I mean over 100000), whereby the action is initated from a web page. Obviously I could just use string[] files = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("path with files to delete"); foreach (var file in files) { IO.File.Delete(file); } Directory.GetFiles http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wz42302f.aspx This method has already been posted a few times: How to delete all files and folders in a directory? and Delete files from directory if filename contains a certain word But the problem with this method is that if you have say a

I need a quick and easy way to store files with unique file names on iOS. I need to prefix the file with a string, and then append the generated unique identifier to the end. I was hoping NSFileManager had some convenient method to do this, but I can't seem to find it. I was looking at createFileAtPath:contents:attributes: , but am unsure if the attributes will give me that unique file name.

I would like to be able to select a remote folder and scan it recursively for all file extensions. For each extension discovered, I would need a total count and well as the sum for individual file types. I've found a script here that works for a single file extension using the -include switch, but rather than running the script scores of times, it would be nice to simply run once and collect all extensions. $hostname=hostname $directory = "D:\foo" $FolderItems = Get-ChildItem $directory -recurse -Include *.txt $Measurement = $FolderItems | Measure-Object -property length -sum $colitems =

I want to delete a folder that contains thousands of files and folders. If I use Windows Explorer to delete the folder it can take 10-15 minutes (not always, but often). Is there a faster way in Windows to delete folders? Other details: I don't care about the recycle bin. It's an NTFS drive. Use Windows Command Prompt: rmdir /s /q folder Hugo The worst way is to send to Recycle Bin: you still need to delete them. Next worst is shift+delete with Windows Explorer: it wastes loads of time checking the contents before starting deleting anything. Next best is to use rmdir /s/q foldername from the
