Hi,

Few days back i needed a code snippet to write a text in starting of all files in a directory. Searched net but could not find any working code. Then i decide to write my own code and come up with following code.

I hope this will help guys who are looking to do same.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;

namespace AddTextToFiles
{
    class Program
    {
        private static DirectoryInfo ds;
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("*********************Written By Kshitij Sharma ***********************");
            Console.WriteLine("Please Enter the path and Press enter ");
            string sPath = Console.ReadLine();
            Console.WriteLine("Please Enter <B style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #a0ffff; COLOR: black">Text</B> ");
            string sText = Console.ReadLine();
            addText(sPath,sText);
            Console.WriteLine("*****************Reach Me @ k.sharma78@gmail.com****************");
            Console.Read();
        }

        private static void addText(string pth,string txt)
        {
            try
            {

                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(pth))
                {
                    ds = new DirectoryInfo(pth);
                }
                else
                {
                    ds = new DirectoryInfo("c:\\testfiles");
                }
                if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(txt))
                {
                    txt = "<!--#Include File=\"CheckSQL.inc\"-->";
                }
                foreach (FileInfo f in ds.GetFiles("*.asp"))
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Writing to file-->" + f.Name);
                    string strPath = ds.Root + ds.Name + "\\" + f.Name;
                    StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(strPath);
                    string fileContent = sr.ReadToEnd();
                    sr.Close();
                    StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(strPath, false);
                    StringReader gr = new StringReader(fileContent);
                    sw.WriteLine(txt);
                    sw.WriteLine(gr.ReadToEnd());
                    sw.Close();
                }
            }
            catch(Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
                Console.Read();
            }
        }
    }
}
