Examples

The following example copies groups of files to the C:\archives\2008 backup folder and then deletes them from the source folder.

string sourceDir = @"c:\current";
string backupDir = @"c:\archives\2008";

try
{
    string[] picList = Directory.GetFiles(sourceDir, "*.jpg");
    string[] txtList = Directory.GetFiles(sourceDir, "*.txt");

    // Copy picture files.
    foreach (string f in picList)
    {
        // Remove path from the file name.
        string fName = f.Substring(sourceDir.Length + 1);

        // Use the Path.Combine method to safely append the file name to the path.
        // Will overwrite if the destination file already exists.
        File.Copy(Path.Combine(sourceDir, fName), Path.Combine(backupDir, fName), true);
    }

    // Copy text files.
    foreach (string f in txtList)
    {

        // Remove path from the file name.
        string fName = f.Substring(sourceDir.Length + 1);

        try
        {
            // Will not overwrite if the destination file already exists.
            File.Copy(Path.Combine(sourceDir, fName), Path.Combine(backupDir, fName));
        }

        // Catch exception if the file was already copied.
        catch (IOException copyError)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(copyError.Message);
        }
    }

    // Delete source files that were copied.
    foreach (string f in txtList)
    {
        File.Delete(f);
    }
    foreach (string f in picList)
    {
        File.Delete(f);
    }
}

        File.Copy(Path.Combine(sourceDir, fName), Path.Combine(backupDir, fName), true)

    // Copy text files.
    for f in txtList do
        // Remove path from the file name.
        let fName = f.Substring(sourceDir.Length + 1)

        try
            // Will not overwrite if the destination file already exists.
            File.Copy(Path.Combine(sourceDir, fName), Path.Combine(backupDir, fName))

        // Catch exception if the file was already copied.
        with
        | :? IOException as copyError -> printfn $"{copyError.Message}"

    // Delete source files that were copied.
    for f in txtList do
        File.Delete f

    for f in picList do
        File.Delete f

// Catch exception if the file was already copied.

Try
    Dim picList As String() = Directory.GetFiles(sourceDir, "*.jpg")
    Dim txtList As String() = Directory.GetFiles(sourceDir, "*.txt")

    ' Copy picture files.
    For Each f As String In picList
        'Remove path from the file name.

Catch dirNotFound As DirectoryNotFoundException
    Console.WriteLine(dirNotFound.Message)
End Try

Remarks

Specify a file name with any relative or absolute path information for the path parameter. Wildcard characters cannot be included. Relative path information is interpreted as relative to the current working directory. To obtain the current working directory, see GetCurrentDirectory.

If the file to be deleted does not exist, no exception is thrown.
