Exact file extension match with GetFiles()?

Question

I\'d like to retrieve a list of files whose extensions match a specified string exactly.

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(someValidPath);
List

        

Answer 1

Using the AddRange feature of lists instead of doing the foreach loop and calling Add for each item returned by the expression below (which I save into the variable list).

var list = di.GetFiles("*.txt").Where(f => f.Extension == ".txt");
myFiles.AddRange(list);

I'm presuming you were just showing us a snippet of your code and myFiles already had values in it, if not, you could do instead.

List myFiles = di.GetFiles("*.txt").Where(f => f.Extension == ".txt").ToList();
