Given a filesystem path, is there a shorter way to extract the filename without its extension?

Question

I program in WPF C#. I have e.g. the following path:

C:\Program Files\hello.txt 

and I want to extract hello from it.

The path is a string retrieved from a database. Currently I'm using the following code to split the path by '\' and then split again by '.':

string path = "C:\\Program Files\\hello.txt"; string[] pathArr = path.Split('\\'); string[] fileArr = pathArr.Last().Split('.'); string fileName = fileArr.Last().ToString(); 

It works, but I believe there should be shorter and smarter solution to that. Any idea?

Answer 1

Path.GetFileName

Returns the file name and extension of a file path that is represented by a read-only character span.

Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension

Returns the file name without the extension of a file path that is represented by a read-only character span.

The Path class is wonderful.
