returned string will `"svn://mcdssrv/repos/currecnt/class"` and not `"svn://mcdssrv/repos/currecnt/class/"` – Chirag Apr 05 '14 at 05:33
change line `Console.WriteLine(s.Remove(s.LastIndexOf('/')+"/");` to `Console.WriteLine(s.Remove(s.LastIndexOf('/'))+"/");` – Chirag Apr 05 '14 at 05:40

One more way to do that:

string str = "svn://mcdssrv/repos/currecnt/class/MBackingBean.java";
string s = Regex.Match(str, ".*/").Value;

alternate yes, but unadvisable. Regex is ugly. – HodlDwon Apr 05 '14 at 05:12
@JoshW Regex clearly shows your intents, you can understand immediately that you want _everything until last / including it_. – Ulugbek Umirov Apr 05 '14 at 05:17
