C# – Extract filename from a full path
Over the years extracting the filename from a full path has always been a pain for me. Working with C#, I discovered a one line, easy to use, solution.
FileName = FileName.Split('\\')[FileName.Split('\\').Count() - 1];
Filename = “c:\TextFile.txt”
Will return:
“TextFile.txt”
And
FileName = (FileName.Split('\\')[FileName.Split('\\').Count() - 1]).Split(',')[0];
Filename = “c:\TextFile.txt”
Will return:
“TextFile”
