Combining 2 string arrays

[tshad]

I am looking for a way to combine 2 string arrays.

I am trying to get a list of files from 2 directories and combine them:

string[] strFiles;
string[] strFiles2;

strFiles = Directory.GetFiles(Settings.ArchiveFilePath, "*.*");
strFiles2 = Directory.GetFiles(Settings.ExceptionFilePath,
"*.*");

One way I was looking at was to copy them into a string collection:

List<string> sarray = new List<string>();

How would I get the string arrays into the collection? Do I need to do 2
loops and move them in one at a time?

Thanks,

Tom

Both look pretty good.

Spoke a little too soon.

Apparently, strFiles.Concat(...) isn't valid.

Do I need another using statement other than using System?

You need C# 3 for that one, and

using System.Linq;

If you're okay with having array as a result, here's another one:

string[] sarray = new string[strFiles.Length + strFiles2.Length];
strFiles.CopyTo(sarray, 0);
strFiles2.CopyTo(sarray, strFiles.Length);
