Getting file names without extensions

Question

When getting file names in a certain folder:

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(currentDirName); FileInfo[] smFiles = di.GetFiles("*.txt"); foreach (FileInfo fi in smFiles) {     builder.Append(fi.Name);     builder.Append(", ");     ... } 

fi.Name gives me a file name with its extension: file1.txt, file2.txt, file3.txt.

How can I get the file names without the extensions? (file1, file2, file3)

Answer 1

You can use Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension:

foreach (FileInfo fi in smFiles) {     builder.Append(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fi.Name));     builder.Append(", "); } 

Although I am surprised there isn't a way to get this directly from the FileInfo (or at least I can't see it).

Answer 2

Use Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension().
