Get file name from a path string in C#

using : c# asp.net vs10

suppose, filepath = "C:\Sys\Axa_Excel\Axa123.xlsx". filepath is a string variable. file can be from whatever location. but the file will be always xls/xlsx/csv. How i have to get the file name only from the filepath which is just a string?

What have you tried? HInt: Look at the static methods of the FIle, Path and Directory classes- all what you Need is there, so you obviously did not try "learning C#". — TomTom, Jan 09 '13 at 06:57

Use Path.GetFileName method.

string result = Path.GetFileName(@"C:\Sys\Axa_Excel\Axa123.xlsx");

How i have to get the file name only from the filepath which is just a string?

Use Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension Method

string result = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(@"C:\Sys\Axa_Excel\Axa123.xlsx");

Use Path.GetFileName Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension static methods.

You need using System.IO to do that as well.

string filename = Path.GetFileName(@'C:\Sys\Axa_Excel\Axa123.xlsx');
string filenamewithoutextension = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(@'C:\Sys\Axa_Excel\Axa123.xlsx');
