How to: Query for Files with a Specified Attribute or Name (Visual Basic)
This example shows how to find all files that have a specified file name extension (for example ".txt") in a specified directory tree. It also shows how to return either the newest or oldest file in the tree based on the creation time.
Example
Module FindFileByExtension
Sub Main()
' Change the drive\path if necessary
Dim root As String = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0"
'Take a snapshot of the folder contents
Dim dir As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(root)
Dim fileList = dir.GetFiles("*.*", System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories)
' This query will produce the full path for all .txt files
' under the specified folder including subfolders.
' It orders the list according to the file name.
Dim fileQuery = From file In fileList _
Where file.Extension = ".txt" _
Order By file.Name _
Select file
For Each file In fileQuery
Console.WriteLine(file.FullName)
Next
' Create and execute a new query by using
' the previous query as a starting point.
' fileQuery is not executed again until the
' call to Last
Dim fileQuery2 = From file In fileQuery _
Order By file.CreationTime _
Select file.Name, file.CreationTime
' Execute the query
Dim newestFile = fileQuery2.Last
Console.WriteLine("\r\nThe newest .txt file is {0}. Creation time: {1}", _
newestFile.Name, newestFile.CreationTime)
' Keep the console window open in debug mode
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.")
Console.ReadKey()
End Sub
End Module
Compile the code
Create a Visual Basic console application project, with an Imports
