Don't show full path

The Directory.GetFiles method will bring back the file name including the
path. I just want the file name, not the path.

For Each strFile In Directory.GetFiles(strLocalPath)
Me.lstLocal.Items.Add(strFile.ToString)
Next

In v1.1, I use Path.GetFileName(path) to get a filename without the
directory path :)

Review the other posts for newer versions.

I even use it in .NET 2.0 if I have a file path as a string.

Hi Mike,

Yes, you're right. The Directory.GetFiles method returns the names of files
with full path in a specified directory.

If you would like to get only the file names in a specified directory, you
could call DirectoryInfo.GetFiles method which returns an array of type
FileInfo and then use the FileInfo.Name property to get the file name
without full path.

The following is a sample.

Dim di As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo(strLocalPath)
Dim fi As FileInfo() = di.GetFiles()

For Each fiTemp As FileInfo In fi
Console.WriteLine(fiTemp.Name)
Next

Hope this help.
If you have anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.



Sincerely,
Linda Liu
