Thread: Editing strings in C#

look at the System.IO.Path class

System.IO.Path.GetFileName(path)

public IEnumerable<string> GetFiles(string path) { return Directory.GetFiles(path).Select(f => Path.GetFileName(f)); }

Thanks a lot pufa. 1 More questions though :P Is theres some sort of a website which has Net library explained and sorted under categories..? I mean, it would have been impossible to discover GetFileName() method by myself if you didn't introduce me to it, Moreover, to find methods in C# that formats/edits plain strings.

Thanks again Pufa. And I am using visual C# express with Microsoft's .net library :/

The namespaces are fairly well organised. Start from the MSDN class library ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/library/ms229335.a spx ) and just explore when the need arises. For text formatting & manipulation, you would probably notice the System.Text namespace. Also, since what you're formatting is a path, the System.IO namespace has a Path class. Cheers, D.

With files and directory, namespace System.IO is all you needed. You can find out it in MSDN.

What you could then do is go through all the files in a directory and all subdirectories using recursion
