The following code example demonstrates a use of the GetFileNameWithoutExtension method.
Dim fileName As String = "C:\mydir\myfile.ext" Dim pathname As String = "C:\mydir\" Dim result As String result = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fileName) Console.WriteLine("GetFileNameWithoutExtension('{0}') returns '{1}'", fileName, result) result = Path.GetFileName(pathname) Console.WriteLine("GetFileName('{0}') returns '{1}'", pathname, result) ' This code produces output similar to the following: ' ' GetFileNameWithoutExtension('C:\mydir\myfile.ext') returns 'myfile' ' GetFileName('C:\mydir\') returns ''
String fileName = "C:\\mydir\\myfile.ext";
String path = "C:\\mydir\\";
String result;
result = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fileName);
Console.WriteLine("GetFileNameWithoutExtension('{0}') returns '{1}'",
fileName, result);
result = Path.GetFileName(path);
Console.WriteLine("GetFileName('{0}') returns '{1}'",
path, result);
var fileName : String = "C:\\mydir\\myfile.ext"; var path : String = "C:\\mydir\\"; var result : String; result = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fileName); Console.WriteLine("GetFileNameWithoutExtension('{0}') returns '{1}'", fileName, result); result = Path.GetFileName(path); Console.WriteLine("GetFileName('{0}') returns '{1}'", path, result);
