Solution 1

Use System.IO.Path.GetFileName. It gets the last part of the string, and does not know if it was a filename, or the last folder name in a sequence.

So, read what I said, again. If you call GetFileName on a path, it will give you the last folder name in the path.

Hello,

Here is a way to do it:

C#

string str1= "D:/Folder1/abc";
string[] split = str1.Split("/");
string lastBit = split[split.Length-1];
Response.Write(lastBit);

But I think you may have your path separator the wrong way round. ie "\" not "/".

The your code is:

C#

string str1 = @"D:\Folder1\abc";
string[] split = str1.Split(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar);
string lastBit = split[split.Length - 1];
Response.Write(lastBit);
