What am I doing wrong?

[User 8327598]

The first code works, however I need to be able to read contents of multiple files from a particular directory. Start simple and build from there I figure. Doing something wrong somewhere, as the 2nd code only brings up the dos window without any data.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;

namespace readtest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{

        StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("C:\\\\Users\\\\Random.txt");
            string str = sr.ReadLine();
            
            string\[\] words = str.Split('|');
            foreach (string word in words)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(word);
            } Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}

This is the one I need to have working. I must be structuring something wrong. I've tried different ways, but no luck.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;

namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles("C:\\Users", ".txt");
foreach (string file in files)
{
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(file);
string str = sr.ReadLine();

                {
                    Console.WriteLine(file);
                }
            } Console.ReadKey();

        }
    }
}

try

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles("C:\\Users\\", "*.txt");

Although it may read a bit better with an @ sign

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\Users\", "*.txt");

"You get that on the big jobs."

you have to use * here as

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles("C:\\Users\\", "*.txt");
