Also it's impossible to determine whether <code>AccessData</code> is meant to be a folder or a file without an extension.</p> <p>I could use some common sense and declare everything with an extension to be a file (<code>Path.GetFileExtension</code> can be used here) and everything else to be a folder.<br> Or I could just check it the string in question is indeed a file or a folder on my machine using (<code>File.Exists</code> and <code>Directory.Exists</code> respectively).</p> <pre><code>if (File.Exists(str2)) Console.WriteLine("It's a file"); else if (Directory.Exists(str2)) Console.WriteLine("It's a folder"); else Console.WriteLine("It's not a real file or folder"); </code></pre>
