[RESOLVED] Rename files with no extension to .txt

[Tegan]

 Dim Files As String() = IO.Directory.GetFiles(f.SelectedPath + "\", "*.*", IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories)
        Dim fil As String
        For Each fil In Files
            If fil.IndexOf(".") = -1 Then
                FileSystem.Rename(fil, fil & ".txt")
            End If
        Next

I'm trying to write some code to rename all the files in the directory and subdirectories. If the file has no extension it needs to add the extension .txt.

Any help appreciated.

What happens when you try to run your code?

The System.IO.Path.GetExtension function will get you the extension of a filename that you pass to it. That may be an easier way to check for an extension.

Thanks I got it to work correctly now:

Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Try
            f.ShowDialog()
        Catch ex As Exception
        End Try
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        Dim Files As String() = IO.Directory.GetFiles(f.SelectedPath + "\", "*.*", IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories)
        Dim fil As String
        For Each fil In Files
            If System.IO.Path.GetExtension(fil) = "" Then
                FileSystem.Rename(fil, fil & ".txt")
            End If
        Next
    End Sub
End Class
