If you are using Visual Studio, I suggest you start with the MSDN Help
article entitled "Basic File I/O" which introduces the classes which support
the title functions. There are numerous links from that article to specifics
and examples.
Whether or not your are using Visual Studio, good alternate sources of
information can be found here:

http://www.codeproject.com/
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;304430

Hope these get you started.

//prints c:\doc
Debug.WriteLine ( Path.GetDirectoryName ( @"c:\doc\test.doc" ) );

This will remove the filename.ext from the complete path string.
You may need to append the trailing backslash, as it is removed.

Hope that helps,
Joe
