I was in Sam Ash on Friday (trying to pick up one of these) chatting with one of the guys in Pro Audio. He found out I do software development, and said that he had asked over 20 different people how he can get a simple printout of all the files in a directory, including the files in any subdirectories.
I looked around on Google for a bit, and did find one Sourceforge project, and found the command line switch for it (dir /s if interested), but I wanted a more tree view. So I threw together a simple directory traversal printer. Not much to it really, the heart of it is a GetFilesAndDirectoriesRecursive method:
private string GetFilesAndDirectoriesRecursive(DirectoryInfo dir, string prefix)
{
DirectoryOutput.Text += ".";
DirectoryOutput.Refresh();
System.Text.StringBuilder output = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
output.Append(prefix + "+" + dir.Name + LINE_BREAK);
DirectoryInfo[] dirs = dir.GetDirectories();
foreach(DirectoryInfo d in dirs)
{
output.Append(GetFilesAndDirectoriesRecursive(d, INDENT_PREFIX + prefix));
}
FileInfo[] files = dir.GetFiles();
foreach(FileInfo file in files)
{
output.Append(prefix + INDENT_PREFIX + "-" + file.Name + LINE_BREAK);
}
return output.ToString();
}
Anyway, if you need something like this, you can grab it from here, full source included.
(EDIT: A good friend (and awesome developer) Brady Gaster rewrote this using delegates and callbacks. Definately worth checking out.)
