[RESOLVED] Check Directory for xml file

How do I simply check a directory to make sure there is a xml file there?? I don't need to load it > psuedo code

Code:

---

try
{
    string location = @"\My Documents\My Games\Something\Something";
    check for (".xml");
}
catch
{
    exception
}

---

System.IO.File.Exists(string filename)

Your Google-fu is weak young padawan....

Awesome thanks!

I got a problem

I am using this as the argument

Code:

---

            if (File.Exists(GameRef.GetDocumentsDirectory + @"\My Documents\My Games\RPGBXL" + "*.xml"))
            {
                manager.ChangeScreens(GameRef.PopUpScreenLoadFile);
            }
            else
            {
                BeginException = true;
            }

---

only problem is - IF there is a xml document there - Which there is, it still going to the exception

Looks like you are missing a backslash at the end of your path
Unless you are looking for RPGBXL*.xml

Pretty sure you can't pass a wild card to that method either. In the case of looking for any .xml file, use Directory.GetFiles.

Hi Bixel,
Hope below code helps yo.. even yo need to search for txt files change the *xml to *txt

DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\Data");
FileSystemInfo[] files = dir.GetFileSystemInfos("*xml");
foreach (FileSystemInfo info in files)
{
Console.WriteLine(info.FullName);
}

here is successful code

Code:

---

            DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(GameRef.GetDocumentsDirectory + @"\My Documents\My Games\RPGBXL");
            FileSystemInfo[] files = dir.GetFileSystemInfos("*xml");
            if(files[0] != null)
            {
                manager.ChangeScreens(GameRef.PopUpScreenLoadFile);
            }
            else
            {

                BeginException = true;

            }
