How to get all files in a directory with certain extension in C#?

Question

I am using this to get all files in a directory:

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(sourceDirectory_);

But is there a way to get all files that end with "jpg" in one line without doing an

if (file.endswidth("jpg")

check?

Answer 1

Directory.GetFiles (sourceDirectory_, "*.jpg")

See the MSDN docs for this overload for more details.

Answer 2

You can provide the search pattern as a second parameter to GetFiles:

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(sourceDirectory_, "*.jpg");
