< Split File from File+Path >

[Carsten Kraft]

Hello Newsgroup,

I am searching for function which returns me filename from a string that has
the file + filepath.
( string sFile = "C:\DIR\SUBDIR\TEST.XML" => TEST.XML)

Is there a functional class for this or what have I to do?

Thanks alot ...

Look at "Path" class. It is quite powerfull

there's a few ways you can do it...

I like to take advantage of the split method in the string object.

string getFileName ( string szPath )
{
string [] szTokens = szPath.Split('\\');
return szTokens[ szTokens.Length - 1 ];
}

To use, you'd say:

string szFileName = getFileName ( szPath );

hope that helps.
Dan.

Hi Carsten,

Take a look at the GetFileName method on the System.IO.Path class.

Try:

string sFile = "C:\\DIR\\SUBDIR\\TEST.XML";
sFile = sFile.Substring(sFile.LastIndexOf("\\")+1);
