Get filenames without path of a specific directory

Question

How can I get all filenames of a directory (and its subdirectorys) without the full path? Directory.GetFiles(...) returns always the full path!

Answer 1

You want Path.GetFileName

This returns just the filename (with extension).

If you want just the name without the extension then use Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension

Answer 2

string fileName = @"C:\mydir\myfile.ext";
string path = @"C:\mydir\";
string result;

result = Path.GetFileName(fileName);
Console.WriteLine("GetFileName('{0}') returns '{1}'", 
fileName, result);

result = Path.GetFileName(path);
Console.WriteLine("GetFileName('{0}') returns '{1}'", 
path, result);
