VB.Net: Getting a file's filename from a string
From Wiki
Some would use regex for this but in .Net it's so much simpler if you use the system.IO namespace.
- Imports System.IO
- Module Module1
- Sub Main()
- Dim d As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo("c:\")
- For Each File As FileInfo In d.GetFiles()
- Console.WriteLine(Path.GetFileName(File.FullName))
- Next
- Console.ReadLine()
- End Sub
- End Module
The important part is in the Path.GetFilename.
