Compare Function..

[somu0915]

Hi,
I have a array of Strings which stores various filenames..
Which method can I use to compare it so that I know that it is an exe file??

Please describe by few lines of code..

[Skizmo]

check the extension :

if (String.Right (3) == "exe")

Sorry but I am using C++/CLI, and there is no Right method as u have suggested..
Here is a sample of my code:

String^ myStr = "C:\windows\system32\abc.exe"

now can u write the code for this to compare whether it is a exe file??

Try the managed C++ forum.

1) (As GCDEF pointed out), this has NOTHING to do with C++. It is a question about the CLI and CLR BCL.

2) Of course you can get the Right most characters of a string (Length and SubString :rolleyes: )

3) Why not just use the FileSystemInfo.Extension Property :confused:

Personally I'd use the System::IO::Path class which contains all sorts of static methods for file manipulation e.g.


String^ myStr = "C:\windows\system32\abc.exe"

// use String::Compare to do a case insensitive comparison
if (System::String::Compare(System::IO::Path::GetExtension(myStr), ".exe", true) == 0)
{
// it's an exe
}

Hey thanx Darwen,
That was a real cool answer..
