problem with console writeline

Console.WriteLine("Please select a file to load.");

string[] filePaths = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\Users\Joe\Documents\Uni\Programming Portfolio\Summative4\Summative4", "*.mark");

int count1 = 1;

foreach (string file in filePaths)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{count1}. ",Path.GetFileName(file));
    count1 = count1 + 1;
}
string selectedFile = Console.ReadLine();

Console.WriteLine("Please select a file to load.");

string[] filePaths = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\Users\Joe\Documents\Uni\Programming Portfolio\Summative4\Summative4", "*.mark");

int count1 = 1;

foreach (string file in filePaths)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{count1}. ",Path.GetFileName(file));
    count1 = count1 + 1;
}
string selectedFile = Console.ReadLine();

when i run the program its printing all the filenames fine but not the number before each file (count1)

you aren't using Console.WriteLine correctly you should be building your whole string using string interpolation, not just the count part

Console.WriteLine($"{count1}. {Path.GetFileName(file)}"); is that better

Also you can just use count1++; to increment by 1
