Get the (last part of) current directory name in C#
C#StringFilepathC# Problem Overview
I need to get the last part of current directory, for example from /Users/smcho/filegen_from_directory/AIRPassthrough
, I need to get AIRPassthrough
.
With python, I can get it with this code.
import os.path
path = "/Users/smcho/filegen_from_directory/AIRPassthrough"
print os.path.split(path)[-1]
Or
print os.path.basename(path)
How can I do the same thing with C#?
ADDED
With the help from the answerers, I found what I needed.
using System.Linq;
string fullPath = Path.GetFullPath(fullPath).TrimEnd(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar);
string projectName = fullPath.Split(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar).Last();
or
string fullPath = Path.GetFullPath(fullPath).TrimEnd(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar);
string projectName = Path.GetFileName(fullPath);
C# Solutions
Solution 1 - C#
You could try:
var path = @"/Users/smcho/filegen_from_directory/AIRPassthrough/";
var dirName = new DirectoryInfo(path).Name;
Solution 2 - C#
You're looking for Path.GetFileName
.
Note that this won't work if the path ends in a \
.
Solution 3 - C#
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"
Solution 4 - C#
Well, to exactly answer your question title :-)
var lastPartOfCurrentDirectoryName =
Path.GetFileName(Environment.CurrentDirectory);
Solution 5 - C#
rather then using the '/' for the call to split, better to use the Path.DirectorySeparatorChar
:
like so:
path.split(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar).Last()
Solution 6 - C#
var lastFolderName = Path.GetFileName(
path.TrimEnd(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar, Path.AltDirectorySeparatorChar));
This works if the path happens to contain forward slash separators or backslash separators.
Solution 7 - C#
Try this:
String newString = "";
String oldString = "/Users/smcho/filegen_from_directory/AIRPassthrough";
int indexOfLastSlash = oldString.LastIndexOf('/');
newString = oldString.Substring(indexOfLastSlash, oldString.Length);
Code may be off (I haven't tested it) but the idea should work.
Solution 8 - C#
This works perfectly fine with me :)
Path.GetFileName(path.TrimEnd('\\')
Solution 9 - C#
You can also use the Uri class.
new Uri("file:///Users/smcho/filegen_from_directory/AIRPassthrough").Segments.Last()
You may prefer to use this class if you want to get some other segment, or if you want to do the same thing with a web address.
Solution 10 - C#
You can try below code :
Path.GetFileName(userpath)
