FileInfo(String) Constructor

Definition

Initializes a new instance of the FileInfo class, which acts as a wrapper for a file path.

public:
 FileInfo(System::String ^ fileName);
public FileInfo (string fileName);
new System.IO.FileInfo : string -> System.IO.FileInfo
Public Sub New (fileName As String)

Parameters

fileName
String

The fully qualified name of the new file, or the relative file name. Do not end the path with the directory separator character.

Exceptions

fileName is null.

The caller does not have the required permission.

.NET Framework and .NET Core versions older than 2.1: The file name is empty, contains only white spaces, or contains invalid characters.

Access to fileName is denied.

The specified path, file name, or both exceed the system-defined maximum length.

fileName contains a colon (:) in the middle of the string.

Examples

The following example uses this constructor to create two files, which are then written to, read from, copied, and deleted.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;

int main()
{
   String^ path = "c:\\MyTest.txt";
   FileInfo^ fi1 = gcnew FileInfo( path );
   if (  !fi1->Exists )
   {
      //Create a file to write to.
      StreamWriter^ sw = fi1->CreateText();
      try
      {
         sw->WriteLine( "Hello" );
         sw->WriteLine( "And" );
         sw->WriteLine( "Welcome" );
      }
      finally
      {
         if ( sw )
            delete (IDisposable^)sw;
      }
   }

   //Open the file to read from.
   StreamReader^ sr = fi1->OpenText();
   try
   {
      String^ s = "";
      while ( s = sr->ReadLine() )
      {
         Console::WriteLine( s );
      }
   }
   finally
   {
      if ( sr )
         delete (IDisposable^)sr;
   }

   try
   {
      String^ path2 = String::Concat( path, "temp" );
      FileInfo^ fi2 = gcnew FileInfo( path2 );
      
      //Ensure that the target does not exist.
      fi2->Delete();
      
      //Copy the file.
      fi1->CopyTo( path2 );
      Console::WriteLine( "{0} was copied to {1}.", path, path2 );
      
      //Delete the newly created file.
      fi2->Delete();
      Console::WriteLine( "{0} was successfully deleted.", path2 );
   }
   catch ( Exception^ e ) 
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "The process failed: {0}", e );
   }
}

//This code produces output similar to the following; 
//results may vary based on the computer/file structure/etc.:
//
//Hello
//And

            //Create a file to write to.
            using (StreamWriter sw = fi1.CreateText())
            {

   sw->WriteLine( "This is a new entry to add to the file" );
   sw->WriteLine( "This is yet another line to add..." );
   sw->Flush();
   sw->Close();
   
   // Get the information out of the file and display it.
   StreamReader^ sr = gcnew StreamReader( fi->OpenRead() );
   while ( sr->Peek() != -1 )
      Console::WriteLine( sr->ReadLine() );
}
