How do I remove the directory structure in file name in this function?

Hello,

I am listing files in a certain directory into a list box using the following code I found on this Forum (Thanks mpdeglau).

lstFiles.Items.AddRange(System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("C:\Test Files\Data Entry Process\", "*.XLS", IO.SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly))

The file names are then listsed in the the list box but the problem is that it also includes the direcotry path also. like this.

C:\Test Files\Data Entry Process\test.xls

How do I have it not include the directory structure? so it would then just show

test.xls

Is there an option to do this?

Thanks for your help

You have to manually remove it from each file path (using System.IO.Path class) then add the file name to your list.

Code:

---

Dim theFiles() As String = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("C:\Test Files\Data Entry Process\", "*.XLS", IO.SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly)
For Each file As String In theFiles
    lstFiles.Items.Add(System.IO.Path.GetFileName(file))
Next
