I have written code for watching a file & whenever changes is made fire the event notifying user of changes. However it doesn't fire for the files already in a directory but in the same directory if I create a new file and make changes to it, works like a charm.
How to make it work for the files already existing in a particular directory?
private static void Watcher()
{
using(FileSystemWatcher watcher = new FileSystemWatcher(path,filter))
{
watcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.LastAccess;
watcher.Changed += OnChanged;
watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
private static void OnChanged(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.ChangeType != WatcherChangeTypes.Changed)
{
return;
}
Console.WriteLine($"Changed: {e.FullPath}");
}
The issue is related with file extension which shows as "text document" in explorer window and when I checked in propertied its ".LOG". Modifying in the filter property fixed it.
