Trimming a string for a filename

[Enyi]

Situation : Need to get a list of files in a directory, but I am currently getting the whole path of the file (Example: "C:\A Folder\Another Folder\file.txt"). What I want is just the filename and extension. So from above example, all I actually want is "file.txt".

Language: VB.NET 2005

Current Code:

Imports System.Collections.ObjectModel
...
Dim files As ReadOnlyCollection(Of String)
files = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(strCurDir)
 

Obviously, the GetFiles function returns a ReadOnlyCollection(Of String), so I cannot simply change it to below...

Imports System.Collections.ObjectModel
...
Dim files As ReadOnlyCollection(Of File)
files = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(strCurDir)
 

With just a string of something like "C:\Folder\Folder\Folder\somefile.txt", what would be the easiest method of getting everything after the last "\"?

[velulev]

intStartPos=strFullFileName.LastIndexOf("\\")+1;
strFileName=strFullFileName.Substring(intStartPos, strFullFileName.Length-intStartPos);

the above code would do. Remove the ; if you are using VB.NET

Ah ok, Thank you

There's an easier way: System.IO.Path.GetFileName(strFilePath).
