I'm kind of a noobie when it comes to things like this, and yes I tried google but all the information I got didn't explain how to do so.I'm just messing around with it really, even though I have been trying to fig
I am trying to get a list of files in one directory, and duplicate them all to .html files.
I can't seem to understand how to get the list of files in an string[] array to a foreach function. So I can do Foreach file in directory, File copy as the same name, convert it to .html, then save it again.
I know how to change the type, and get the list. But I can't get the function to list the files, then change the file type foreach file in the directory.

string[] ar = Directory.GetFiles("MyScripts/", "*.txt", System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories);
string copy;
MAIN:
Console.WriteLine("This will create an .html from all files in 'MyFiles'. Do you wish to continue? [N/Y] \n");
copy= Console.ReadLine();
switch (copy)
{
case "y":
break;

Console.WriteLine("File(s) not changed!");

File.Move
Just saying

I do agree, that is much cleaner though
this kind of thing can be done much easier with a simple shell script

Yes, But I hate using batch files.
Install Bash.

Well, let's just say I prefer to stick with C# and nothing else.
I got it working, but for some stupid reason when I tell it to convert the files. It takes the full name: TestFile1.txt, and outputs it: TestFile1.txt.html. How do I fix it?
A dirty method would be to use
[code]
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(input, ".txt", "");
[/code]
before you add the .html to the filename.

We already saw that one could just use System.IO.Path.ChangeExtension
