How to take a file name contains todays date in c#

Question

I have an FTP location contains files created daily basis.I need to take the files created today.Files are like

test-tester2016060720001.xml.zip    /todays one
test-tester2016060620001.xml.zip
test-tester2016060520001.xml.zip

I need a logic in c# to get file name contains todays date ie test-tester2016060720001.xml.zip for today

Better to check the created date instead for parsing the name? — sujith karivelil, Jun 07 '16 at 00:59

This might do what you need.

var filePattern = String.Format("test-tester{0}*.xml.zip", DateTime.Today.ToString("yyyyMMdd"));

DirectoryInfo d = new DirectoryInfo(@"D:\Test");
FileInfo[] Files = d.GetFiles(filePattern);

foreach(FileInfo file in Files )
{
  //Do what you want with the file
}
