Comments on: C# – Loop all files in directory and it’s sub-directories

Indeed. It wasn’t a criticism, just a fact of life if the app will be used by lots of different users to look at a remote file system, and they don’t necessarily have rights to the entire structure.

Yes, my sample doesn’t handle any “acceptable exception” because I think it depends on what you application need. Some may just simply want to skip the file for certain exceptions and some may want to stop the application for all exceptions.

I like (and use) this technique. The only things I would add are that, in a real world environment there are a couple of pseudo-expected exceptions that you may hit; UnauthorizedAccessException and PathTooLongException). My sample code pretty much mimics yours but also takes into account these “acceptable exceptions”. Please have a look at http://www.scottleckie.com/2009/07/iterating-through-a-bunch-of-folders-and-files/

For the first statement, my original code should declare stack as a string stack Stack. I have fixed that now.

For the second statement, you are right. I have fixed that too. My mistake

Thanks.

good evening,
you have two errors in the code

faux : dir = stack.Pop();
Vrai : dir = (string)stack.pop();
And
faux : directories = Directory.GetDirectories(path);
vrai : directories = Directory.GetDirectories(dir);

thank you very much for this code
marc
