The code looks like this:
DirectoryInfo d = new DirectoryInfo(@"c:\a\folder");
DirectoryInfo[] Dirs = d.GetDirectories();
foreach (var item in Dirs)
{
Console.WriteLine("The folders:{0}", item.ToString());
}
And it prints this:
The folders: c:\a\folder\foldertozip
But I only want to print foldertozip. How can I do that? Thanks for helping me out.
Simply change item.ToString() to item.Name:
DirectoryInfo d = new DirectoryInfo(@"c:\a\folder");
DirectoryInfo[] Dirs = d.GetDirectories();
foreach (var item in Dirs)
{
Console.WriteLine("The folders:{0}", item.Name);
}
You can split and get the last
item.ToString().Split("\\").Last();
Or even better, use the DirectoryInfo.Name property: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.directoryinfo.name?view=netframework-4.8#System_IO_DirectoryInfo_Name
This Name property returns only the name of the directory, such as "Bin". To get the full path, such as "c:\public\Bin", use the FullName property.
item -> will hold the whole directory so, doing toString isn't the option if you want the Name of Folder/SubFolder only
see there is method "Name" which you can use it by calling as item.Name in console.WriteLine() , instead of item.toString()
foreach (var item in Dirs)
{
Console.WriteLine("The folders:{0}", item.Name());
}
or you can do this : Getting the folder name from a path
I would probably use something like:
string path = "C:/folder1/folder2/file.txt";
string lastFolderName = Path.GetFileName( Path.GetDirectoryName( path ) );
The inner call to GetDirectoryName will return the full path, while the outer call to GetFileName() will return the last path component - which will be the folder name.
This approach works whether or not the path actually exists. This approach, does however, rely on the path initially ending in a filename. If it's unknown whether the path ends in a filename or folder name - then it requires that you check the actual path to see if a file/folder exists at the location first.
