How to store directory in variables

I am using the following code to search for a specific file with .doc extension. How can I get this info into a variable to be used later?

Dim di As New DirectoryInfo("d:\")
Dim files() As FileInfo = di.GetFiles("*.doc", SearchOption.AllDirectories)

Not sure what the issue is, but the files variable in your code sample already contains this information.

This line:

Dim files() As FileInfo = di.GetFiles("*.doc", SearchOption.AllDirectories)

Gets the file information and assigns it to the files() array. This can now be used as it contains the information returned by the GetFiles method.

From the code you've written, you've already got all the files .doc files in the files() array.

What exactly do you want to do?

You already do have the info, in your files() array.

You can then use files() array to get a count of matches files.Length, or iterate through the matching files foreach file as FileInfo in files {}.
