How can I remove the actual file name from the path returned by the FileName
property of an Open or Save File Dialog?
All I want is the path to the file without the file name.
To get the file name from the path, use the os. path. basename() method. Working with UNIX or MacOS uses the slash / as path separator, and Windows uses the backslash \ as the separator.
Paths include the root, the filename, or both. That is, paths can be formed by adding either the root, filename, or both, to a directory.
Hey guys, In this article, We will discuss how to get the filename from the full path in Linux. The full path means the address at which the file is located. This includes all the directories and subdirectories. For example, We have a file named file1. txt.
Pass the full path (the one including the file name) to the System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName
method. This will strip out the file name and return the full path to the directory containing that file.
For example:
Dim filePath As String = "C:\MyDir\MySubDir\myfile.ext"
Dim directoryPath As String = Path.GetDirectoryName(filePath)
Places the following string in the directoryPath
variable:
C:\MyDir\MySubDir
