[RESOLVED] FileInfo look up problems

[bixel]

Getting the most subtle error took me forever to narrow it down, now that I found it I don't know what to do

so here's the deal: I want to read into a Directory and load a file from the directory
here are the files

Armor_Cloth_clothes.xml
Armor_Leather_leather.xml
Armor_Leather_lightleather.xml
Armor_Padded_padded.xml

this is the code I'm using

        private void LookForFile(string armorName)
        {
            string directory = itemsContentPath + @"\Armor\";
            string armor = armorName.Replace(" ", "");
            string armorLowered = armor.ToLower();

            DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(directory);
            FileInfo[] files = dir.GetFiles();

            foreach (FileInfo file in files)
            {
                if (file.Name.Contains(armorLowered))
                {
                    string thisArmor = directory + file.Name;
                    ReadArmor(thisArmor);
                }
            }
        }

the problem is here >> if (file.Name.Contains(armorLowered))

if I ask for "Clothes", then "Light Leather", then "Leather", and finally "Padded"
I should have an output of Clothes, Leather, Light Leather, Padded, but instead I'm getting
Clothes, Light Leather, Light Leather, Padded

Figured it out, realized I needed to parse out file to make a better comparison

        private void LookForFile(string armorName)
        {
            string directory = itemsContentPath + @"\Armor\";
            string armor = armorName.Replace(" ", "");
            string armorLowered = armor.ToLower();

            DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(directory);
            FileInfo[] files = dir.GetFiles();

            foreach (FileInfo file in files)
            {
                string filename = Convert.ToString(file);
                var wordsWithLowercase = filename.Split('_').Where(word => char.IsLower(word[0])).Distinct();
                string truncated = string.Join("", wordsWithLowercase.ToArray());
                string item = truncated.Replace(".xml", "");
                if (item == armorLowered)
                {
                    string thisArmor = directory + file.Name;
                    ReadArmor(thisArmor);
                }
            }
        }

I didn't test anything, but couldn't you go somewhere along these lines?

string armorLowered = armorName.Replace(" ", "_").ToLower();

// then later...
string filename = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file.FullName).ToLower();
if (armorLowered == filename) //...

Even better, you could use the File.Exists(string path) static method to avoid the loop completely. If there's a chance for multiple files to be returned (but it doesn't look like it), you could use the GetFiles(...) method of the DirectoryInfo class.
