Source and Target have the same subdirectories like this :
c:\fs\source\a\
c:\fs\source\b\
c:\fs\target\a\
c:\fs\target\b\
I am battling with copying files from source to target if not existing files. What is the best way in C# to compare source folders with target folders - check if target files dont exit, copy files from a specific source (c:\fs\source\a\config.xml and app.config) to a specific target (c:\fs\target\a\). If target files exist, ignore it. How to write it in C#?
Your code example very much appreciated. Thanks!
public void TargetFileCreate()
{
foreach (var folder in SourceFolders)
{
string[] _sourceFileEntries = Directory.GetFiles(folder);
foreach (var fileName in _sourceFileEntries)
{ //dont know how to implement here:
//how to compare source file to target file to check if files exist or not
//c:\fs\source\A\config.xml compares to c:\fs\target\A\ (no files) that should be pasted
//c:\fs\source\B\config.xml compares to c:\fs\target\B\config.xml that is already existed - no paste
}
}
}
foreach (var file in Directory.GetFiles(source))
{
File.Copy(file, Path.Combine(target, Path.GetFileName(file)), false);
}
