Ok i have a string where i want to remove the last word split by \

now i want to remove the last word so that i get a new value for name as

name= "kak\kdk\dd\ddew\"

is there an easy way to do this

Answer 1

How do you get this string in the first place? I assume you know that '' is the escape character in C#. However, you should get far by using

name = name.TrimEnd('\\').Remove(name.LastIndexOf('\\') + 1);

Answer 2

string result = string.Join("\\",
            "kak\\kdk\\dd\\ddew\\cxz\\"
            .Split(new[] { '\\' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
            .Reverse()
            .Skip(1)
            .Reverse()
            .ToArray()) + "\\";
