filenames / extensions with file uploads

[Lauchlan M]

Hi

I'm doing a file upload and I get

//get the filename
string FullFileNameAndPath = fileDischargeFile.PostedFile.FileName;

This returns the full filepath, eg c:\folder\filename.ext

What I want to do is get the filename (as 'filename.ext') and the extension
(as '.ext') from this full path.

What are the best .net methods/namespaces to use for this?

Thanks

Lauchlan M

Hi, Lauchlan M,

You should use the methods Substring and LastIndexOf on the string class.

I believe the File and Directory objects have static methods to parse the
string into its components.

That worked ok.
