Get the (last part of) current directory name in C#

Question

I need to get the last part of current directory, for example from /Users/smcho/filegen_from_directory/AIRPassthrough, I need to get AIRPassthrough

Answer 1

You could try:

var path = @"/Users/smcho/filegen_from_directory/AIRPassthrough/";
var dirName = new DirectoryInfo(path).Name;

Answer 2

You're looking for Path.GetFileName.
Note that this won't work if the path ends in a \.

Answer 3

This is a slightly different answer, depending on what you have. If you have a list of files and need to get the name of the last directory that the file is in you can do this:

string path = "/attachments/1828_clientid/2938_parentid/somefiles.docx";
string result = new DirectoryInfo(path).Parent.Name;

This will return "2938_parentid"

Answer 4

Try this:

String newString = "";
Sting oldString = "/Users/smcho/filegen_from_directory/AIRPassthrough";

int indexOfLastSlash = oldString.LastIndexOf('/', 0, oldString.length());

newString = oldString.subString(indexOfLastSlash, oldString.length());

Code may be off (I haven't tested it) but the idea should work

Answer 5

This works perfectly fine with me :)

Path.GetFileName(path.TrimEnd('\\')

Answer 6

You can try below code :

Path.GetFileName(userpath)
