What is the simplest way to get the directory that a file is in? I'm using this to set a working directory.
string filename = @"C:\MyDirectory\MyFile.bat"; In this example, I should get "C:\MyDirectory".

To get current file's full path, you can use the os. path. abspath function. If you want only the directory path, you can call os.
The best Linux command to get file path is using pwd command. To use this command, type “pwd” into your terminal and press enter. This command will print the current working directory. The output will be the file path.
The full path name is the path from the root directory (i.e., / ). ./my_script is the relative path name, because the path is given relatively to the current directory, which is denoted by . . So if you are in your home directory the full path is s.th.
2.1. To obtain the full path of a file, we use the readlink command. readlink prints the absolute path of a symbolic link, but as a side-effect, it also prints the absolute path for a relative path. In the case of the first command, readlink resolves the relative path of foo/ to the absolute path of /home/example/foo/.
If you've definitely got an absolute path, use Path.GetDirectoryName(path).
If you might only get a relative name, use new FileInfo(path).Directory.FullName.
Note that Path and FileInfo are both found in the namespace System.IO.
