rename file

Question

When I rename a file it drops the extension and I can't open it programmatically. How do you keep the extension? When I set a break point it includes the extension by checking in the immediate window. It's not included in the file name in the directory and I get an error Cannot open datafile.

string oldFile = "C:\New folder\";
string newFile = "C:\Sales\";
foreach(file f in Files)
{
System.IO.File.Move(oldFile + f.Name, newFile + f.Name + "New");
}

HI @Winston TheFifth ,

Please try the following.

c#

File.Move(Path.Combine(oldFile, f.Name), Path.Combine(newFile, Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(f.Name) + "New" + Path.GetExtension(f.Name)));
