i would like to divide a string using a "\"(pathseparator) as delimeter with Split method.

String str="c:\documents\csr\text.txt

i need the last word text.txt.

String str1 =str.split('\')[];

i used like this ,but i am not getting the output,please help me.i tried it in google and in some other forums, but i didnt get.

and another one, is there any way to get last word directly without looping the array?

You would need to use:

//Note: The @ just means you don't want to escape any characters like \
string str=@"c:\documents\csr\text.txt";
string[] pieces = str.Split("/".ToCharArray());
string myending=pieces[pieces.Length - 1];
\\myending should now contain "text.txt"
 

Although, if you are only dealing with paths/files. Using System.IO.File and System.IO.FileInfo (and counter parts for Directory/DirectoryInfo) might also be used to do what you want.

You can use one of these: (Code is in C#)
1.

sResult = @"C:\Temp\myfile.txt";
int index = sResult.LastIndexOf('\\');
sResult = sResult.Substring(index + 1);
 

2. Or, if you are using this for file or dir path, you can import System.IO namespace. Then u can use static functions from Path or File or Directory classes to break your path into directory and file name (with or without extn etc.)
Paste this code and call it from a windows form

public string PlayPathFleNameEtc(string sPath)
        {
            textBox1.Text = "*** GetDirectoryName: " + Path.GetDirectoryName(sPath);
            textBox1.Text += Environment.NewLine + "*** GetExtension: " + Path.GetExtension(sPath);
            textBox1.Text += Environment.NewLine + "*** GetFileName: " + Path.GetFileName(sPath);
            textBox1.Text += Environment.NewLine + "*** GetFileNameWithoutExtension: " + Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(sPath);
            textBox1.Text += Environment.NewLine + "*** GetFullPath: " + Path.GetFullPath(sPath);
            textBox1.Text += Environment.NewLine + "*** GetPathRoot: " + Path.GetPathRoot(sPath);
            textBox1.Text += Environment.NewLine + "*** GetRandomFileName: " + Path.GetRandomFileName();
            textBox1.Text += Environment.NewLine + "*** GetTempFileName: " + Path.GetTempFileName();
            textBox1.Text += Environment.NewLine + "*** GetTempPath: " + Path.GetTempPath();
 
            return "Success, check TextBox Contents.";
        }
