Get contents after last slash

Question

I have strings that have a directory in the following format:

C://hello//world 

How would I extract everything after the last / character (world)?

Answer 1

string path = "C://hello//world"; int pos = path.LastIndexOf("/") + 1; Console.WriteLine(path.Substring(pos, path.Length - pos)); // prints "world" 

The LastIndexOf method performs the same as IndexOf.. but from the end of the string.

Answer 2

using System.Linq;

var s = "C://hello//world"; var last = s.Split('/').Last();
