I was wondering if I can use wildcards in a path. I'm trying to find out if a certain directory exists in C:\Program Files..

I know I can use if (!Directory.Exists(C:\Program Files\Test Prog)

But can is there a way to find the directory without being exact? Like

if (Directory.Exists(C:\Program Files\Tes*) to see if any folder with test exists?

Thanks.. hope i was clear enough

Hmm, Never mind, I found a better solution, but I have a question about File.Delete...

Can I Use something like this:

File.Delete(@"C:\Program Files\test.exe");

Or do i not need the @?

Hmm, I'm not sure, but I do know a way you can find out, just make test.txt, and try deleting it.

Yes, you can use File.Delete. You can read more about it at MSDN: File.Delete Method (.NET Framework).

The @ as a prefix for a string is often used with path-strings. Instead of using the esapce sequence for a backslash ('\\'), you can use @ to disable '\' as a escape char, so instead of specifying the string "C:\\Programs\\ChromeCode\\LineCounter\\Data\\" you can write @"C:\Programs\ChromeCode\LineCounter\Data\". This increases the readability.
