  Move files with new name?

  Mar 16, 2020 03:33 PM|MVC_user|LINK

  This is my code:

              //DECLARE A LIST OF FILE NAMES:
  	    List<string> ListOfFilesToMove = spExecuter.ExecuteDataRow<List<string>>("dbo.Archivos_MOV_LIST", ParameterArtId);
              try
              {
                  string TempPath = new ConfigModel().GetByKey("PATH_ARCHIVOS_TEMPORALES").Value; //TEMP FILES WHERE THEY ARE NOW
                  string FinalPath = new ConfigModel().GetByKey("PATH_ARCHIVOS").Value; //DESTINATION FILE TO MOVE
  
                  using (WebClient client = new WebClient()) //JUST CONNECT
                  {
                      foreach(var arch in ListOfFilesToMove) //FOR EVERY RECORD IN MY LIST
                      {
  
                          var TempFile = Path.Combine(TempPath, arch); //COMBINE PATH + FILE NAME
                          File.Move(TempFile, FinalPath); //MOVE THE FILE
  
                      } 
                  }
              }

  I was wondering if i can rename the files when they are moved because i have a table on my Database like this: 

  TempFileName    /   FinalName

  ABC1.pdf      /     ABC1_1234.pdf 

  So i could call another list of Final Names and match them to rename the files but i think this is a bad idea. SHould i Create some of those special lists with two attribs like TempFileName and FinalName and just make one StoreProcedure to get both at same time? 

  Somebody have some rename examples?

  You can rename a file to whatever you like.  Are you asking if it is possible to rename the file using the File.Move() method?  

  Parameters

  <div class="propertyInfo">

  sourceFileName

  String

  The name of the file to move. Can include a relative or absolute path.

  </div> <div class="propertyInfo stack">

  destFileName

  String

  The new path and name for the file.

  </div>

  Is your code not working as expected or throwing an exception?

  is not what i was having on mind but thanks.

  I just did a SP evaluating two parameters, when you pass the second it receives the other list matching the new name.

   List<string> ListOfFilesToMove = spExecuter.ExecuteDataSet<string>("dbo.Archivos_MOV_LIST", ParameterArtId);
              try
              {
                  string TempPath = new ConfigModel().GetByKey("PATH_ARCHIVOS_TEMPORALES").Value;
                  string DestPath = new ConfigModel().GetByKey("PATH_ARCHIVO").Value;
  
                  using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
                  {
                      foreach(var arch in ListOfFilesToMove)
                      {
  
                          var TempFile = Path.Combine(TempPath, arch);
                          Dictionary<string, object> ParameterArtIdName = new Dictionary<string, object>();
                          {
                              ParameterArtIdName.Add("@Id_Articulo", IdResult);
                              ParameterArtIdName.Add("@Nombre", arch);
                          }
                          string FinalFile = spExecuter.ExecuteDataRow<string>("dbo.Archivos_MOV_LIST", ParameterArtIdName);
                          var FinalPath = Path.Combine(DestPath, FinalFile);
                          File.Copy(TempFile, FinalPath);
  
                      }
  
                      return IdResult;
                  }
              }
              catch (Exception ex)
              {
                  Console.WriteLine("Error.....");
  return IdResult;
              }

  Hi MVC_user,

  MVC_user

  I was wondering if i can rename the files when they are moved because i have a table on my Database like this: 

  TempFileName    /   FinalName

  ABC1.pdf      /     ABC1_1234.pdf 

  Do you mean that you already have this two colums in your database table and you want to rename the TempFileName with the FinalName when you move the File?

  MVC_user

  So i could call another list of Final Names and match them to rename the files but i think this is a bad idea. SHould i Create some of those special lists with two attribs like TempFileName and FinalName and just make one StoreProcedure to get both at same time? 

  If I didn't misunderstand above, I think both two method is ok, you can get the TempFileName and FinalName from the database and then change the filename and move, or you can first move then change the name.
