C# copy pictures from folder base on excel with productnames

Question

Hello,

 

i'm want to start learning the basics of programming in C# with visual studio.

 

i don't have any background or experience so i have to start from almost zero, but normally i pick up things quickly when i'm interested. :-) 

i have a project in mind to start with but i don't know in what area's i need to dive into to be able to do this.

 

what i want to do:

on our network drive we have a folder containing pictures (jpeg, tiff) for al these articles where the product name is literally the name of the picture

for big projects we sometimes need to transfer hundreds of photo's to clients, at the moment we copy these pictures manually. 

we have excel files containing these  product names per project.

 

i would like to make a program that checks each row in the excel file ,  then search in a specified folder for the picture with the "product name + jpg or tiff".

then makes a copy of the picture in another folder (to be chosen by the user). 

 

Could somebody point me towards what i need to do / search for to be able to do this?

 

i hope my question makes any sense at all... :-)

 

thank you very much
