Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the File class to check whether a file exists, and depending on the result, either create a new file and write to it, or open the existing file and read from it. Before running the code, create a c:\temp folder.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
int main()
{
   String^ path = "c:\\temp\\MyTest.txt";
   if (  !File::Exists( path ) )
   {
      
      // Create a file to write to.
      StreamWriter^ sw = File::CreateText( path );
      try
      {
         sw->WriteLine( "Hello" );
         sw->WriteLine( "And" );
         sw->WriteLine( "Welcome" );
      }
      finally
      {
         if ( sw )
                  delete (IDisposable^)(sw);
      }
   }

   // Open the file to read from.
   StreamReader^ sr = File::OpenText( path );
   try
   {
      String^ s = "";
      while ( s = sr->ReadLine() )
      {
         Console::WriteLine( s );
      }
   }
   finally
   {
      if ( sr )
            delete (IDisposable^)(sr);
   }

   try
   {
      String^ path2 = String::Concat( path, "temp" );
      
      // Ensure that the target does not exist.
      File::Delete( path2 );
      
      // Copy the file.
      File::Copy( path, path2 );
      Console::WriteLine( "{0} was copied to {1}.", path, path2 );
      
      // Delete the newly created file.
      File::Delete( path2 );
      Console::WriteLine( "{0} was successfully deleted.", path2 );
   }
   catch ( Exception^ e ) 
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "The process failed: {0}", e );
   }
}
using System;
using System.IO;

class Test
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        string path = @"c:\temp\MyTest.txt";
        if (!File.Exists(path))
        {
            // Create a file to write to.
            using (StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(path))
            {
                sw.WriteLine("Hello");
                sw.WriteLine("And");
                sw.WriteLine("Welcome");
            }
        }

        // Open the file to read from.
        using (StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(path))
        {
            string s;
            while ((s = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(s);
            }
        }
    }
}
open System.IO

let path = @"c:\temp\MyTest.txt"

if File.Exists path |> not then
    // Create a file to write to.
    use sw = File.CreateText path
    sw.WriteLine "Hello"
    sw.WriteLine "And"
    sw.WriteLine "Welcome"

// Open the file to read from.
do
    use sr = File.OpenText path
    let mutable s = sr.ReadLine()

    while isNull s |> not do
        printfn $"{s}"
        s <- sr.ReadLine()
Imports System.IO

Public Class Test
    Public Shared Sub Main()
        Dim path As String = "c:\temp\MyTest.txt"
        If File.Exists(path) = False Then
            ' Create a file to write to.
            Using sw As StreamWriter = File.CreateText(path)
                sw.WriteLine("Hello")
                sw.WriteLine("And")
                sw.WriteLine("Welcome")
           End Using
        End If

        ' Open the file to read from.
        Using sr As StreamReader = File.OpenText(path)
            Do While sr.Peek() >= 0
                Console.WriteLine(sr.ReadLine())
            Loop
        End Using
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

Use the File class for typical operations such as copying, moving, renaming, creating, opening, deleting, and appending to a single file at a time. You can also use the File class to get and set file attributes or DateTime information related to the creation, access, and writing of a file. If you want to perform operations on multiple files, see Directory.GetFiles or DirectoryInfo.GetFiles.

Many of the File methods return other I/O types when you create or open files. You can use these other types to further manipulate a file. For more information, see specific File members such as OpenText, CreateText, or Create.

Because all File methods are static, if you want to perform only one action, it might be more efficient to use a File method than a corresponding FileInfo instance method. All File methods require the path to the file that you are manipulating.

The static methods of the File class perform security checks on all methods. If you are going to reuse an object several times, consider using the corresponding instance method of FileInfo instead, because the security check won't always be necessary.

By default, full read/write access to new files is granted to all users.

The following table describes the enumerations that are used to customize the behavior of various File methods.

Enumeration Description
FileAccess Specifies read and write access to a file.
FileShare Specifies the level of access permitted for a file that is already in use.
FileMode Specifies whether the contents of an existing file are preserved or overwritten, and whether requests to create an existing file cause an exception.

Note

In members that accept a path as an input string, that path must be well-formed or an exception is raised. For example, if a path is fully qualified but begins with a space, the path is not trimmed in methods of the class. Therefore, the path is malformed and an exception is raised. Similarly, a path or a combination of paths cannot be fully qualified twice. For example, "c:\temp c:\windows" also raises an exception in most cases. Ensure that your paths are well-formed when using methods that accept a path string.

In members that accept a path, the path can refer to a file or just a directory. The specified path can also refer to a relative path or a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path for a server and share name. For example, all the following are acceptable paths:

  • "c:\\\MyDir\\\MyFile.txt" in C#, or "c:\MyDir\MyFile.txt" in Visual Basic.
  • "c:\\\MyDir" in C#, or "c:\MyDir" in Visual Basic.
  • "MyDir\\\MySubdir" in C#, or "MyDir\MySubDir" in Visual Basic.
  • "\\\\\\\MyServer\\\MyShare" in C#, or "\\\MyServer\MyShare" in Visual Basic.

For a list of common I/O tasks, see Common I/O Tasks.
