PrintTree

The extension method IFileSystem.PrintTreeTo(TextWriter output, string path, int depth, Format format) prints a tree structure to a TextWriter such as Console.Out (stdout).

IFileSystem ram = new MemoryFileSystem();
ram.CreateDirectory("/tmp/");
ram.CreateDirectory("/mnt/");
ram.CreateDirectory("/usr/lex/");
ram.CreateDirectory("c:/dir/dir/");
ram.CreateFile("/tmp/helloworld.txt", Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Hello World!\r\n"));
ram.CreateDirectory("file://c:/temp/");

ram.PrintTreeTo(Console.Out);

IFileSystem.PrintTreeTo(TextWriter output, string path, int depth, Format format) appends to a StringBuilder.

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
ram.PrintTreeTo(sb);

IFileSystem.PrintTree(string path, int depth, Format format) prints out to as string.

Console.WriteLine(ram.PrintTree());

Parameter depth determines visit depth.

Console.WriteLine(ram.PrintTree(depth: 1));

""
├── ""
├── "c:"
└── "file:"

Parameter path determines start location.

Console.WriteLine(ram.PrintTree(path: "/tmp/"));

"tmp"
└── "helloworld.txt"

Parameter format determines which infos are printed out. For example PrintTree.Format.Path prints out full path instead of name.

string tree = ram.PrintTree(format: FileSystemPrintTreeExtensions.Format.Tree | FileSystemPrintTreeExtensions.Format.Path |
                                 FileSystemPrintTreeExtensions.Format.Length | FileSystemPrintTreeExtensions.Format.Error);
