Needing some help with this

Needing some help with this please guys

I'm busy trying to fix up this project I am working on, however my understanding of LINQ is severely lacking. Could someone please give me a clue as to what should go here, because the bold bit is getting flagged with an error. I'm not sure what should go there.

Dim ListToProcess = Directory.GetFiles(serverPath & "\Documents\Notes", "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories).Where(Function(x) [B]dataForWord[/B].Select(Function(y) y(12)).Contains(x.Split("\").Last().Split(".").First.Split(" ").Last))

'dataForWord' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.

I suspect this dataForWord is perhaps a book mark or placeholder put in by someone else.

Any help will be appreciated!

I unfortunately don't know much about vb syntax, so I can help there, but if I were you I'd just unroll the stack into standard code.

Agreed, might have to do just that.

I think what this guy was trying to do was strip away the file path and extension and just get the filename.

Seems like an awfully painful way of doing it :erm:

'dataForWord' is not declared in the context in which this linq query runs.

Also, make the code more readable by having your '.' methods on it's own line with the correct indentation. I think you can do that with VB.Net also.

But back to the issue though. dataForWord is a list or something that should be declared either in your method or class and it's not there.
