Problem with opening file and pathname
Hi All,
I'm new to the boards. I have a problem opening a file for reading. Here are snipets of code I am using.
Code:
/// <summary>
/// Create a new reader for the given stream.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="s">The stream to read the CSV from.</param>
public CSVReader(Stream s) : this(s, null) { }
/// <summary>
/// Create a new reader for the given stream and encoding.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="s">The stream to read the CSV from.</param>
/// <param name="enc">The encoding used.</param>
public CSVReader(Stream s, Encoding enc) {
this.stream = s;
if (!s.CanRead) {
throw new CSVReaderException("Could not read the given CSV stream!");
}
reader = (enc != null) ? new StreamReader(s, enc) : new StreamReader(s);
}
/// <summary>
/// Creates a new reader for the given text file path.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="filename">The name of the file to be read.</param>
public CSVReader(string filename) : this(filename, null) { }
/// <summary>
/// Creates a new reader for the given text file path and encoding.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="filename">The name of the file to be read.</param>
/// <param name="enc">The encoding used.</param>
public CSVReader(string filename, Encoding enc)
: this(new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Open), enc) { }
Here is where I am trying to open the file:
Code:
using ( CSVReader csv = new CSVReader(@"C:\Documents and Settings\testfile1.csv") )
Now, I want to be able to change the pathname so that my program can process multiple files (using a for loop).
ie:
"C:\Documents and Settings\testfile1.csv"
"C:\Documents and Settings\testfile2.csv"
"C:\Documents and Settings\testfile3.csv"
...
I tried loading the path into a string variable and using String.Concat( , ) to create the full path. However, I get errors from the '\' within the strings.
Does anyone know anyother way to accomplish what I am trying to do?
Thanks,
Steve
