I am using the below method to get the file names. But it returns the entire path and I don't want to get the entire path. I want only file names, not the entire path.
How can I get that only file names not the entire path
path= c:\docs\doc\backup-23444444.zip
string[] filenames = Directory.GetFiles(targetdirectory,"backup-*.zip"); foreach (string filename in filenames) { } You could use the GetFileName method to extract only the filename without a path:
string filenameWithoutPath = Path.GetFileName(filename); 
System.IO.Path is your friend here:
var filenames = from fullFilename in Directory.EnumerateFiles(targetdirectory,"backup-*.zip") select Path.GetFileName(fullFilename); foreach (string filename in filenames) { // ... } Try GetFileName() method:
Path.GetFileName(filename); Linq is good
Directory.GetFiles( dir ).Select( f => Path.GetFileName( f ) ).ToArray();
You can use this, it will give you all file's name without Extension List<string> lstAllFileName = (from itemFile in dir.GetFiles() select Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(itemFile.FullName)).Cast<string>().ToList();
