    I've been brainstorming with this for a long time... and havent figured it out yet. I'm just asking for a tip to point me in the right direction... because im going in circles. The problem i have is this: Example folder contains files .jpg and .tif. I want to check them if they follow up correctly. So... this is an example of an OK folder: Example Folder> -1.jpg -2.tif -3.jpg -4.tif -5.jpg -6.jpg -7.tif -8.tif -9.jpg -10.tif You can see, that the files go - 1-1 or 2-2 (maybe also 3-3) in extension. this is when an error would occcur: Example Folder> -1.jpg -2.tif -3.jpg -4.jpg -5.tif -6.jpg -7.tif -8.jpg the extensions dont follow up. the order of the next extension is not the same. Any idea? Please?

    If its about Windows Explorer than I think its not possible. The sorting is simple as its string... Why error occur, if you check the extension...or I might not get your question

      Do you mean this? If file 1 and 2 are jpg, then 3 and 4 must be tif. That is: 2-2 if 5 is jpg, then 6 must be tif. That is 1-1. In short, number of consecutive jpf files must be equal to number of consecutive tif files. And these must be together. And if the order is not like the one above, then show error.

        It doesnt concern explorer. Basicly, the intention of this application would be to check if JPG files have their duplicate TIF files. If it would be just 1-1, then i could do it... but i cant figure this one out. And what i ment by an error was to put as an output - in which folder the files dont match.

          AFAIK you just need to set up some loops wisely. Here is a bit of quick and dirty approach I could think of:

          List s = new List ();
          s.Add("jpg");
          s.Add("tif");
          s.Add("jpg");
          s.Add("tif");
          s.Add("jpg");
          s.Add("jpg");
          s.Add("tif");
          s.Add("tif");
          s.Add("jpg");
          s.Add("tif");

              bool breakFor = false;
              int togetherCount = 1;
              for (int i = 1;i < s.Count -1;i++) {
                
                if (s\[i\] == s\[i - 1\]) {
                  togetherCount++;
                  continue;
                }
                else {
                  int count = 0;
                  while (count < togetherCount) {
                    if (!(s\[i + 1\] == s\[i + count\])) {
                      if (togetherCount > 1) {
                        MessageBox.Show("error");
                        breakFor = true;
                        break;
                      }
                    }
                    count++;
                  }
                  if (breakFor) {
                    break;
                  }
                  else {
                    i = i + togetherCount;
                    togetherCount = 1;
                  }
                }
              }
          

          It might not be correct but good to start off I guess.

            its simple then... try this

                bool Test(string dirPath)
                {
                    string\[\] filePaths = Directory.GetFiles(dirPath, "\*.jpg");

              Umm not duplicates :/ sorry... just... the follow up files. 1.jpg has his own tif, but with a different name. example... 3.tif, because there is another 2.jpg before.

                In that case, just get the count of files with JPG and count of files with TIF and they must be equal. Dump the code I had posted. Edit: There is a lot of misunderstanding going on in this post. :doh:

                  I already thought of that - but it is definitly a no-go. Why? Well, maybe there are some files which dont have their tifs, but some tiffs dont have their jpgs - and the count may match.

                                }
                                else {
                                  i = i + togetherCount;
                                  togetherCount = 1;
                                }
                              }
                            }
                        

                        It might not be correct but good to start off I guess.

                          I would say, debug the code and find where you are wrong. Get hold of the logic and you will be done.

                          One thing I can figure out is you need to remoe this + 1. I have not debugged the code just read it so I may go wrong.

                            In today's pseudo-language that would be:

                            filelist=getAllFilenames()
                            filelist.Sort
                            diff=0
                            foreach(file in filelist) {
                            if (jpg) diff++
                            else diff--
                            if (diff<-1 or diff>1) error
                            }

                            Two remarks: 1. to get a natural sort order for the file names, same as Windows Explorer does, you would need to use Explorer's code, i.e. use P/Invoke and the prototype:

                            	\[DllImport("shlwapi.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Unicode, ExactSpelling=true)\]
                            	private static extern int StrCmpLogicalW(string s1, string s2);
                            

                            Of course if the name part is just a number, you could use int.Parse and sort based on the outcome. 2. I cannot imagine where and how your requirement could ever have a useful application. :)

                            - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google - the quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get - use the code block button (PRE tags) to preserve formatting when showing multi-line code snippets

                              Umm not duplicates :/ sorry... just... the follow up files. 1.jpg has his own tif, but with a different name. example... 3.tif, because there is another 2.jpg before.

                              Regards, Matjaž

                              that is plain stupid. Extensions exist so files that belong together can share the name part of a filename. Use it to your advantage rather than strugging with some code to fix the mistake. :)

                              - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google - the quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get - use the code block button (PRE tags) to preserve formatting when showing multi-line code snippets
