File name from PostedFile.FileName

[R7Dave]

Hello

I am tring to create a page that will allow the user to upload a file from their harddrive, have the file name (without the directory) appear in a textbox.

I have the directory and the file name - how can I get just the file name?

Example: C:\Program Files\March\Status\WeeklyRpt.doc

How can I get just "WeeklyRpt.doc"?

I'm using...

<INPUT id="myFile" type="file" name="myFile" runat="server">

Dim sFile As String = myFile.PostedFile.FileName

Is there something like "FileName" that will not show the directory?

If I have to parse the string, how can I get the position of the last back slash in the directory plus file name?

Thanks in advance
Dave

var fileName = new FileInfo(myFile.PostedFile.FileName).Name
or
var fileName = new FileInfo(myFile.PostedFile.FileName).FileName

One of those should do it.

What version of the framwork are you using? In 2.0 there is a server side file upload control that has a .FileName property that gives just the filename and no path.

Hello

This did the trick...

txtdir.Text = New FileInfo(myFile.PostedFile.FileName).Name

I tried this one (below) but it gave me the directory too..

myFile.PostedFile.FileName

Thanks again
Dave

You are correct, this will NOT work:

myFile.PostedFile.FileName

However, this will:

myFile.FileName
