I have a console program that I am trying ot execute with a batch file. When you click on the batch file a command windows comes up and keeps looping displaying the contents of the batch file until you close the window. You can execute th program manually from within a command window. The only problem is with the using it in a batch file.
I am lost. This is my second C# app so any help would be appriciated.
Code:using System; using System.IO; using System.Collections; using System.Data; namespace autoBackUp { /// <summary> /// Summary description for Class1. /// </summary> class Class1 { /// <summary> /// The main entry point for the application. /// </summary> [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { // // TODO: Add code to start application here // Console.WriteLine("Please enter a path"); string filePath = Console.ReadLine(); //string filePath = "C:\\backUpGui\\guiSettings.osf c:\\tomTets\\new_****"; //Splits file path into to sections the first key is the settings file and the second is string [] filePathSplit = filePath.Split(' '); //Opens settings file for reading StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(filePathSplit[0]); //Reads setting file string fileContents = sr.ReadToEnd(); //Splits the file contents into an array string [] fileContentsSplit = fileContents.Split('\n'); //Starts a new Arraylist to be filled with the file names ArrayList fileArray = new ArrayList(); if (Directory.Exists(filePathSplit[1]) == true) {//Check for the directory to see if it exists } else { //If the directory does not exist create it Directory.CreateDirectory(filePathSplit[1]); }//End of if directory exists foreach(string fileName in fileContentsSplit) {//Split each file path into an array of names and extensions if (fileName != "") { //Split string at \ for measuring string [] filePathSplit2 = fileName.Split('\\'); //Get the length of the last key in the array int lastKeyLength = (filePathSplit2[filePathSplit.Length - 1].Length); //Find the position of the last \ int filePos = filePath.IndexOf('\\', ((fileName.Length) - (lastKeyLength + 1))); //Get a the name and extension string fileNameAndExt = fileName.Substring(filePos); //Add to the array containing the names and extensions fileArray.Add(fileNameAndExt); }//End of if }//End of foreach //Define the new file path string newFileName = filePathSplit[1]; //Convert the names and extension array into a useable string array string [] fileNameConvert = (string []) fileArray.ToArray(typeof(string)); //Start loop to copy files that were selected for (int i = 0; i < fileContentsSplit.Length; i++) { if (fileContentsSplit[i] != "") { try {//Copies each file deined in batch file File.Copy(fileContentsSplit[i], newFileName + fileNameConvert[i], true); }//End of try catch (System.IO.IOException) { return; }//End of catch }//End foreach that copies files }//End if for copying //Outputs each file for name that was copied. Mainly for debugging. foreach (string files in fileContentsSplit) { if (files != "") { Console.WriteLine(files); } }//End of forEach } } }
