Split Function <RESOLVED>

Hi!

I am develeoping an application in asp.net with c# as the code behind.
I want to extract the file name form a string say, "C\documents\abc\abc.doc".

I have to get abc.doc in a variable.
I wanted to use the Split function and get the last item of the array, which would have given me the file name.

But, I am not been able to do so.

My code is

Code:

---

string strDocumentName = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Files[0].FileName.ToString();
string[]arrFile = strDocumentName.Split('\');

//Loop through the array arrFile
for(int i=0;i<=arrFile.GetUpperBound(0);i++)
{
  strDocumentName = arrFile.GetValue(i).ToString();
}

---

Th problem is Split function gives an error with the delimeter (\). With every other delimiter it works fine.

Pls help.

Check out the IO.PATH name space. In VB.Net you would use:

VB Code:

dim sFilename as String = system.IO.Path.GetFileName(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Files[0].FileName)

\ is an escape character - to fix your method, use Split('\\') instead.

wild_bill's option is somewhat cleaner though :)

Thanks a bunch
