Locating Zip folders

[Nitin raj]

Hi, I have to unzip multiple folders present in a single folder using c#. I have the code for doing this and it is working fine. For using this code I have to select the file that is to be unzipped and then after unziping it I have to select the next zip file and unzip it and so on. This is a very long process. Can anyone tell me how to unzip all the zip folders present in the parent folder at one go. thanx Nitin.

You can use Directory.GetFiles method for locating all the zip files and then use your code I think general scheme whould be like this string[]zipFiles; foreach(string zf in zipFiles) . . . //your code here hope the post would help

you can filter the files with using the overloaded version of the GetFiles(string path,string searchPattern) it would be somewhat like this for zip files

string[] files=System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.zip");

good luck
