Issue Description:
When using the Directory.GetFiles() method in C#, if there are trailing spaces in the directory path, the returned file paths also end up containing trailing spaces. This behavior can lead to a "file not found" error when trying to access the files.
Example:
When executing the following code:
var files = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\folder ");
foreach (var file in files)
{
Console.WriteLine(file);
}
Actual Result:
C:\folder \doc.pdf
Expected Result:
C:\folder\doc.pdf
Reproduction Steps
- Set a directory path with trailing spaces.
- Call the Directory.GetFiles() method.
- Observe the returned file paths, which contain trailing spaces.
- Attempt to access one of the files using the returned path and note the "file not found" error.
Expected behavior
I expected it to give a folder not found error
Actual behavior
The wrong file path is returned and a "file not found" error is encountered.
