Inheritance: object

Paths

Methods

ResolveFiles(IEnumerable<string>, string)

Resolves paths to absolute file paths with wildcard support.

public static IList<FileInfo> ResolveFiles(IEnumerable<string> paths, string defaultPattern = "*")

Parameters

paths IEnumerable<string>: The paths to resolve.
defaultPattern string: The default pattern to use for finding files when a directory is specified.

Returns

IList<FileInfo>: Handles to all matching files that were found

Remarks

paths are first interpreted as files, then as directories. Directories are searched using the defaultPattern. * and ? characters are considered as wildcards.

Exceptions

FileNotFoundException: A file that was explicitly specified in paths (no wildcards) could not be found.
