How to extract the .img files using c# [duplicate]

I'm trying to extract an ISO to a folder with the same name without .iso on the end.
I'm having a problem with winrar as it will not start the extract when I start up with the seach starting in the folder with the ISO.
UPDATED with answer code
private void ExtractISO(string toExtract, string folderName)
{
// reads the ISO
CDReader Reader = new CDReader(File.Open(toExtract, FileMode.Open), true);
// passes the root directory the folder name and the folder to extract
ExtractDirectory(Reader.Root, folderName /*+ Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(toExtract)*/ + "\\", "");
// clears reader and frees memory
Reader.Dispose();
}
private void ExtractDirectory(DiscDirectoryInfo Dinfo, string RootPath, string PathinISO)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(PathinISO))
{
PathinISO += "\\" + Dinfo.Name;
}
RootPath += "\\" + Dinfo.Name;
AppendDirectory(RootPath);
foreach (DiscDirectoryInfo dinfo in Dinfo.GetDirectories())
{
ExtractDirectory(dinfo, RootPath, PathinISO);
}
foreach (DiscFileInfo finfo in Dinfo.GetFiles())
{
using (Stream FileStr = finfo.OpenRead())
{
using (FileStream Fs = File.Create(RootPath + "\\" + finfo.Name)) // Here you can Set the BufferSize Also e.g. File.Create(RootPath + "\\" + finfo.Name, 4 * 1024)
{
FileStr.CopyTo(Fs, 4 * 1024); // Buffer Size is 4 * 1024 but you can modify it in your code as per your need
}
}
}
}
static void AppendDirectory(string path)
{
try
{
if (!Directory.Exists(path))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
}
}
catch (DirectoryNotFoundException Ex)
{
AppendDirectory(Path.GetDirectoryName(path));
}
catch (PathTooLongException Ex)
{
AppendDirectory(Path.GetDirectoryName(path));
}
}
The user selects the folder to extract (.ISO) toExtract. I then use it in the Process.Start() in the background worker. That just seems to open the mounting software and doesn't extract the ISO to the desired folder name.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Or if anyone could give me a batch to extract the ISO instead and to call it from c# passing toExtract and the folder name that would be helpful too.
Thanks

If external Class Libraries are OK!
Then use SevenZipSharp or .NET DiscUtils to extract ISO's...
These two ClassLibraries can manage ISO and Extract them!
For DiscUtils you can find some codes for ISO Management [CDReader Class] at the Link I provided.
But For SevenZipSharp, Please Explore the ClassLibrary source and find the Code to Extract or Google to find it!
To get the Name of the folder just use Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension((string)ISOFileName) which will return "ISOFile" for an iso named "ISOFile.iso". And then you can use it with your desired path.
UPDATE
Code To Extract ISO Image with DiscUtils :
using DiscUtils;
using DiscUtils.Iso9660;
void ExtractISO(string ISOName, string ExtractionPath)
{
using (FileStream ISOStream = File.Open(ISOName, FileMode.Open))
{
CDReader Reader = new CDReader(ISOStream, true, true);
ExtractDirectory(Reader.Root, ExtractionPath + Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(ISOName) + "\\", "");
Reader.Dispose();
}
}
void ExtractDirectory(DiscDirectoryInfo Dinfo, string RootPath, string PathinISO)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(PathinISO))
{
PathinISO += "\\" + Dinfo.Name;
}
RootPath += "\\" + Dinfo.Name;
AppendDirectory(RootPath);
foreach (DiscDirectoryInfo dinfo in Dinfo.GetDirectories())
{
ExtractDirectory(dinfo, RootPath, PathinISO);
}
foreach (DiscFileInfo finfo in Dinfo.GetFiles())
{
using (Stream FileStr = finfo.OpenRead())
{
using (FileStream Fs = File.Create(RootPath + "\\" + finfo.Name)) // Here you can Set the BufferSize Also e.g. File.Create(RootPath + "\\" + finfo.Name, 4 * 1024)
{
FileStr.CopyTo(Fs, 4 * 1024); // Buffer Size is 4 * 1024 but you can modify it in your code as per your need
}
}
}
}
static void AppendDirectory(string path)
{
try
{
if (!Directory.Exists(path))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
}
}
catch (DirectoryNotFoundException Ex)
{
AppendDirectory(Path.GetDirectoryName(path));
}
catch (PathTooLongException Exx)
{
AppendDirectory(Path.GetDirectoryName(path));
}
}
Use It with Like This :
ExtractISO(ISOFileName, Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory) + "\\");
Working! Tested By Me!
And Of Course You can always add more Optimization to the code...
This Code is Just a Basic One!

For UDF or for making Windows ISO Files after servicing(DISM) with out needs the above accepted answer is not working for me so i tried this working method with DiscUtils
using DiscUtils;
public static void ReadIsoFile(string sIsoFile, string sDestinationRootPath)
{
Stream streamIsoFile = null;
try
{
streamIsoFile = new FileStream(sIsoFile, FileMode.Open);
DiscUtils.FileSystemInfo[] fsia = FileSystemManager.DetectDefaultFileSystems(streamIsoFile);
if (fsia.Length < 1)
{
MessageBox.Show("No valid disc file system detected.");
}
else
{
DiscFileSystem dfs = fsia[0].Open(streamIsoFile);
ReadIsoFolder(dfs, #"", sDestinationRootPath);
return;
}
}
finally
{
if (streamIsoFile != null)
{
streamIsoFile.Close();
}
}
}
public static void ReadIsoFolder(DiscFileSystem cdReader, string sIsoPath, string sDestinationRootPath)
{
try
{
string[] saFiles = cdReader.GetFiles(sIsoPath);
foreach (string sFile in saFiles)
{
DiscFileInfo dfiIso = cdReader.GetFileInfo(sFile);
string sDestinationPath = Path.Combine(sDestinationRootPath, dfiIso.DirectoryName.Substring(0, dfiIso.DirectoryName.Length - 1));
if (!Directory.Exists(sDestinationPath))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(sDestinationPath);
}
string sDestinationFile = Path.Combine(sDestinationPath, dfiIso.Name);
SparseStream streamIsoFile = cdReader.OpenFile(sFile, FileMode.Open);
FileStream fsDest = new FileStream(sDestinationFile, FileMode.Create);
byte[] baData = new byte[0x4000];
while (true)
{
int nReadCount = streamIsoFile.Read(baData, 0, baData.Length);
if (nReadCount < 1)
{
break;
}
else
{
fsDest.Write(baData, 0, nReadCount);
}
}
streamIsoFile.Close();
fsDest.Close();
}
string[] saDirectories = cdReader.GetDirectories(sIsoPath);
foreach (string sDirectory in saDirectories)
{
ReadIsoFolder(cdReader, sDirectory, sDestinationRootPath);
}
return;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}
}
it has extracted from a application source ISOReader but modified for my requirements
total source is available at http://www.java2s.com/Open-Source/CSharp_Free_CodeDownload/i/isoreader.zip

Try this:
string Desktop = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop);
Process.Start("Winrar.exe", string.Format("x {0} {1}",
Desktop + "\\test.rar",
Desktop + "\\SomeFolder"));
That would extract the file test.rar to the folder SomeFolder. You can change the .rar extention to .iso, it'll work the same.
As far as I can see in your current code, there is no command given to extract a file, and no path to the file that has to be extracted. Try this example and let me know if it works =]
P.S. If you'd like to hide the extracting screen, you can set the YourProcessInfo.WindowStyle to ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden.

I hace confrunted recently with this kind of .iso extraction issue. After trying several methods, 7zip did the job for me, you just have to make sure that the latest version of 7zip is installed on your system. Maybe it will help

Downloading a directory using SSH.NET SFTP in C#

I am using Renci.SSH and C# to connect to my Unix server from a Windows machine. My code works as expected when the directory contents are only files, but if the directory contains a folder, I get this
Renci.SshNet.Common.SshException: 'Failure'
This is my code, how can I update this to also download a directory (if exists)
private static void DownloadFile(string arc, string username, string password)
{
string fullpath;
string fp;
var options = new ProgressBarOptions
{
ProgressCharacter = '.',
ProgressBarOnBottom = true
};
using (var sftp = new SftpClient(Host, username, password))
{
sftp.Connect();
fp = RemoteDir + "/" + arc;
if (sftp.Exists(fp))
fullpath = fp;
else
fullpath = SecondaryRemoteDir + d + "/" + arc;
if (sftp.Exists(fullpath))
{
var files = sftp.ListDirectory(fullpath);
foreach (var file in files)
{
if (file.Name.ToLower().Substring(0, 1) != ".")
{
Console.WriteLine("Downloading file from the server...");
Console.WriteLine();
using (var pbar = new ProgressBar(100, "Downloading " + file.Name + "....", options))
{
SftpFileAttributes att = sftp.GetAttributes(fullpath + "/" + file.Name);
var fileSize = att.Size;
var ms = new MemoryStream();
IAsyncResult asyncr = sftp.BeginDownloadFile(fullpath + "/" + file.Name, ms);
SftpDownloadAsyncResult sftpAsyncr = (SftpDownloadAsyncResult)asyncr;
int lastpct = 0;
while (!sftpAsyncr.IsCompleted)
{
int pct = (int)((long)sftpAsyncr.DownloadedBytes / fileSize) * 100;
if (pct > lastpct)
for (int i = 1; i < pct - lastpct; i++)
pbar.Tick();
}
sftp.EndDownloadFile(asyncr);
Console.WriteLine("Writing File to disk...");
Console.WriteLine();
string localFilePath = "C:\" + file.Name;
var fs = new FileStream(localFilePath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
ms.WriteTo(fs);
fs.Close();
ms.Close();
}
}
}
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("The arc " + arc + " does not exist");
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("Please press any key to close this window");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}

BeginDownloadFile downloads a file. You cannot use it to download a folder. For that you need to download contained files one by one.
The following example uses synchronous download (DownloadFile instead of BeginDownloadFile) for simplicity. After all, you are synchronously waiting for asynchronous download to complete anyway. To implement a progress bar with synchronous download, see Displaying progress of file download in a ProgressBar with SSH.NET.
public static void DownloadDirectory(
SftpClient sftpClient, string sourceRemotePath, string destLocalPath)
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(destLocalPath);
IEnumerable<SftpFile> files = sftpClient.ListDirectory(sourceRemotePath);
foreach (SftpFile file in files)
{
if ((file.Name != ".") && (file.Name != ".."))
{
string sourceFilePath = sourceRemotePath + "/" + file.Name;
string destFilePath = Path.Combine(destLocalPath, file.Name);
if (file.IsDirectory)
{
DownloadDirectory(sftpClient, sourceFilePath, destFilePath);
}
else
{
using (Stream fileStream = File.Create(destFilePath))
{
sftpClient.DownloadFile(sourceFilePath, fileStream);
}
}
}
}
}

IOException: The process cannot access the file 'file path' because it is being used by another process in Console Application in C#

I am running Console_Application-A in which I am calling another Console_Application-B (in which I am creating log file for Error/Exception).
But when I am running Console_Application-B individually its working properly but when I am running Console_Application-A at that time I am getting an Exception when Application need to write an Error in log file.(Error.txt).
IOException: The process cannot access the file 'Error.txt' because it
is being used by another process
please guide me in this issue.
Code for Writing Error log
public static bool IsFileLocked(FileInfo file)
{
FileStream stream = null;
try
{
stream = file.Open(FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.None);
}
catch (IOException)
{
return true;
}
finally
{
if (stream != null)
stream.Close();
}
return false;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
string filePath =Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location) + "\\Error.txt";
FileInfo FInfo = new FileInfo(filePath);
var FileState = IsFileLocked(FInfo);
while (FileState){
FileState = IsFileLocked(FInfo);
}
if (!FileState){
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(filePath, true))
{
writer.WriteLine("Message :" + e.Message + "<br/>" + Environment.NewLine + "StackTrace :" + e.StackTrace +"" + Environment.NewLine + "Date :" + DateTime.Now.ToString());
writer.WriteLine(Environment.NewLine + "-----------------------------------------------------------------------------" + Environment.NewLine);
writer.Dispose();
}
}
}

There is no need first to check if the file is locked and then access it, as between the check and the access some other process may still get a lock on the file.
using System;
using System.IO;
class DirAppend
{
public static void Main()
{
using (StreamWriter w = File.AppendText("log.txt"))
{
Log("Test1", w);
Log("Test2", w);
}
using (StreamReader r = File.OpenText("log.txt"))
{
DumpLog(r);
}
}
public static void Log(string logMessage, TextWriter w)
{
w.Write("\r\nLog Entry : ");
w.WriteLine("{0} {1}", DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString(),
DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString());
w.WriteLine(" :");
w.WriteLine(" :{0}", logMessage);
w.WriteLine ("-------------------------------");
}
public static void DumpLog(StreamReader r)
{
string line;
while ((line = r.ReadLine()) != null)
{
Console.WriteLine(line);
}
}
}

Disposing File Object Properly

Ok so heres the thing. When ever a trigger is hit i append my logs in a specific folder. The code works fine and it appends it correctly but if i try to manually delete the folder from the desktop its giving a "The action cannot be completed cause the folder/file is open in another program";
i guess im not disposing it right but i dont know where i missed it. I know its the folder that is attached to the process cause i tried to delete the .log file inside and it allowed me.
private void LogEvent(string filename,bool AppendTxt,string msg)
{
string sLogFormat = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString().ToString() + " " + DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString().ToString() + " ==> ";
msg = sLogFormat + msg;
// create directory
if (System.IO.Directory.Exists("C:\\Users\\DT-Npax\\Desktop\\LOGS1") != true)
{
Directory.CreateDirectory("C:\\Users\\DT-Npax\\Desktop\\LOGS1");
}
string dailyLog = "C:\\Users\\DT-Npax\\Desktop\\LOGS1" + "\\" + filename + ".log";
FileStream FS = null;
//write or append txt
if (!AppendTxt)
{
if (File.Exists(dailyLog))
{
File.Delete(dailyLog);
}
using (FS = File.Create(dailyLog)) { }
FS.Close();
StreamWriter TXT_WRITE = new StreamWriter(dailyLog);
TXT_WRITE.WriteLine(msg);
TXT_WRITE.Close();
}
else
{
if (!File.Exists(dailyLog))
{
using (FS = File.Create(dailyLog)) { }
FS.Close();
}
FileStream FSAppend = new FileStream(dailyLog, FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write);
StreamWriter TXT_WRITE = new StreamWriter(FSAppend);
TXT_WRITE.WriteLine(msg);
TXT_WRITE.Close();
FSAppend.Close();
}
}

Your code does seem to close the file properly but not in an exception-safe manner.
You also have some unnecessary code in there (like using (FS = File.Create(dailyLog)) { } FS.Close(); ).
The smallest modification looks like this:
else
{
//if (!File.Exists(dailyLog))
//{
// using (FS = File.Create(dailyLog)) { }
// FS.Close();
//}
using (FileStream FSAppend = new FileStream(dailyLog, FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write))
using (StreamWriter TXT_WRITE = new StreamWriter(FSAppend))
{
TXT_WRITE.WriteLine(msg);
}
//TXT_WRITE.Close();
//FSAppend.Close();
}
But I would rewrite this whole method like:
private void LogEvent(string filename,bool AppendTxt,string msg)
{
string sLogFormat = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString().ToString() + " "
+ DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString().ToString() + " ==> ";
msg = sLogFormat + msg;
// create directory
if (System.IO.Directory.Exists("C:\\Users\\DT-Npax\\Desktop\\LOGS1") != true)
{
Directory.CreateDirectory("C:\\Users\\DT-Npax\\Desktop\\LOGS1");
}
string dailyLog = "C:\\Users\\DT-Npax\\Desktop\\LOGS1" + "\\" + filename + ".log";
if (AppendText)
System.IO.File.AppendAllText(dailylog, msg);
else
System.IO.File.WriteAllText(dailylog, msg);
}
There is no need to pre-create or delete files.

Wrap the streams in a using block since they implement IDisposable.
I must say this code is a little odd...
using (FS = File.Create(dailyLog)) { }
FS.Close();
StreamWriter TXT_WRITE = new StreamWriter(dailyLog);
TXT_WRITE.WriteLine(msg);
TXT_WRITE.Close();
Shouldn't it be something like:
using (FileStream FS = File.Create(dailyLog))
{
using(StreamWriter TXT_WRITE = new StreamWriter(dailyLog))
{
TXT_WRITE.WriteLine(msg);
}
}

problems with filestream, streamreader and streamwriter

my first problem comes in the form of if i declare my filestream etc in this manner
filestream file;
streamreader file_in;
streamwriter file_out;
try
{
file = new filestream("data.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
file_in = new streamreader(file);
file_out = new streamwriter(file);
}
catch(IOException exc)
{
Console.WriteLine(exc.Message);
}
throws an error which says "use of unassigned local variable", which i find odd because all streams are declared outside of the try block but within the main so they should exist within the main.
my other problem comes in the form that if i remove the try/catch block and just declare the streams as one line (eg: FileStream file = new FileStream("data.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite);) my reading from file does work however i cannot write to file. my write to file function is as follows:
public bool write_to_file(ref StreamWriter file_out)
{
if (this.is_empty == true)
{
Console.WriteLine("error, there is nothing to write.");
Console.WriteLine("press any key to continue...");
Console.ReadKey();
return false;
}
try
{
string temp = this.is_empty + "," + this.movie_title + "," + this.year_released + "," + this.publisher + "," +
this.length + "," + this.acting_rating + "," + this.music_rating + "," + this.cinematography_rating + "," +
this.plot_rating + "," + this.duration_rating + "," + this.total_rating;
file_out.WriteLine(temp);
return true;
}
catch (IOException exc)
{
Console.WriteLine(exc.Message);
Console.WriteLine("press any key to continue...");
Console.ReadKey();
return false;
}
}
any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Well, they're declared but unassigned... so, either set them to null or just do everything together.
try
{
using(var file = new FileStream("data.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
using(var file_in = new StreamReader(file))
using(var file_out = new StreamWriter(file))
{
// Do your thing
}
}
catch
{
throw;
}

You need to assign a value to your variables at the top, even if its just null
FileStream file = null;
StreamReader file_in = null;
StreamWriter file_out = null;

Before closing the files, try flushing the output streams and files.
file_out.Flush();
file.Flush(); // may be redundant but won't hurt
