Questions to get the file in the directory

Question

How do I get a file with xls extension from a directory? Would anyone have a hint how to do this?

var files = new DirectoryInfo( "foldername" ).GetFiles( "*.xls" );

You can use windows service for doing these processing. However, there is also an alternative solution: 1. Creating a seperate program for reading and processing of files 2. Schedule your program (step 1) using Windows Task Scheduler.

Amit, I have my service code already ready, but inside it, I should get the first file containing the extension .cpv, in case I read this file, inside the file it contains several vouchers with its due information, however, I need to save the data it contains on each voucher, such as date and time, document value, as soon as I finish processing this file, I have to move those files to another folder. How could I be initiating this coding of this application? Because in my windows service project, I already have two classes LogService and Program.cs, already ready, as it is a windows service, how could I apply these requirements in this windows functionality, to read those files in that directory? Would you kindly help me, friend? Here's my service code: Service1.cs using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Diagnostics; using System.IO; using System.Linq; using System.ServiceProcess; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using System.Timers; namespace ServicoProcessamentoComprovantes { public partial class Service1: ServiceBase { private Timer timer1 = null ; public Service1 () { InitializeComponent (); } protected override void OnStart ( string [] args) { LogService.writeEventLog ( "The timer is set to 10 seconds" ); timer1 = new Timer (); // 1000 = one seconds this .timer1.Interval = 1000; // 10 seconds this .timer1.Elapsed + = new ElapsedEventHandler ( this .timer_tick); this .timer1.Enabled = true ; LogService.writeEventLog ( "Starting Banestes service" ); } private void timer_tick ( object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e) { // ALL: LogService.writeEventLog ( "The timer and some operations are running ..." ); // ALL: LogService.writeEventLog ( "Operation completed successfully" ); } protected override void OnStop () { LogService.writeEventLog ( "******** --Event: Idle-- ********" ); LogService.writeEventLog ( "Attempt to Stop Service" ); timer1.Stop (); timer1 = null ; LogService.writeEventLog ( "Service stopped by user" ); } private void ListArchives () { string extension = Path.GetExtension ( "" ); DirectoryInfo Dir = new DirectoryInfo (@ "\ S3A601 \ ftp @ sefaz \ BANESTES \ Output_SDPJ \ test" ); } } }
