private string[] _extentionFilters;[/code]

basically the complete start to finish code – i can compare and see where i’ve gone wrong

Thanks

When you apply two filters like (*.jpg; *.*), you can get the same files many times in the arrayList (in this case all jpg files will appears 2 times: one for *.jpg and one for *.*).

Then we need to add a function like DISTINCT() to make the list just needed.

thx.

string folder = Path.GetDirectoryName(Server.MapPath(rotatorImage.ImageUrl));

string[] filters = {"*.jpg", "*.png" , "*.gif"};
ArrayList images = new ArrayList();

foreach(string filter in filters){
	images.AddRange(Directory.GetFiles(folder, filter));
}

This is what I ended up using:

public static string [] GetVideoList (string path)
{
string filter = "*.mpg;*.gif" ;
string [] filterSplit = filter.Split (';') ;
int filterCount = filterSplit.Length ;
string [] fileList = null ;
string [][] jaggedFileList = new string[filterCount][] ;
int fileCount = 0 ;
int jaggedCount ;

if (Directory.Exists (path))
{
for (int i = 0; i

I assume we figure out for our own that we should add up all the strFiles to a seperate array, otherwise in the end strFiles will only have the files belonging to the final filter (assuming strFiles be declared before the for loop)? correct? or am I foolishly missing something?
