c# - Reading all text files in a network path in a WinForms app -

how can read text files in network path in c# winforms?. text files name changing.

example:

• abc-gd09538.txt
• adb-jk3949.txt
• gjd-kgl9495-txt

the format of each text file when opened is:

some text text text text  [data start] "data1"|"data2"|"data3"|"data4"|"data5"|"data5"|"data6" [data end] 

i ignore "some text" part of text file , proceed text file reading on line [data start] , end on line [data end] perform query database , insert data received text files table.

from msdn website: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd997370%28v=vs.110%29.aspx

this enumerate through c:\ directory , provide list of each .txt file (i took out clause).

using system; using system.io; using system.linq;  class program {     static void main(string[] args)     {         try         {             var files = file in directory.enumeratefiles(@"c:\", "*.txt", searchoption.alldirectories)                         line in file.readlines(file)                         select new                         {                             file = file,                             line = line                         };              foreach (var f in files)             {                 console.writeline("{0}\t{1}", f.file, f.line);             }             console.writeline("{0} files found.", files.count().tostring());         }         catch (unauthorizedaccessexception uaex)         {             console.writeline(uaex.message);         }         catch (pathtoolongexception pathex)         {             console.writeline(pathex.message);         }     } } 

to go through each file , read "data" information. make sure pass parameter 'f' if make separate function.

        try         {             foreach (var f in files)             {                 using (streamreader sr = new streamreader(f.file))                 {                     string readline;                                         {                         readline = sr.readline();                         string[] readlinesplit = readline.split('|');                         if (readlinesplit.length > 1)                         {                             //make call database query , update readsplit.                         }                      } while (!sr.endofstream);                 }             }         }          catch (exception ex)         {             messagebox.show(ex.message);         } 

i suggest creating new thread on how make query , update database. make no mention on database is, table structure or otherwise.

be safe,
