get folder from a path

  • 772

I have a list of folder addresses, which I then loop through with a foreach. The routes look like this

C:\XXX\XXX\XXX\XXX\XXX\10-21-2020
C:\XXX\XXX\XXX\XXX\XXX\10-20-2020

At a certain moment I get the current date, when going through the foreachname that is at the end of the route, for example , it "10-21-2020"corresponds to October 10, 2020, which must be equal to the current date.

if (Path.GetDirectoryName(item) == fecha_actual)
    {
        
    }

I've tried to get this name, but I still can't, I keep sending the entire route and I just need"10-21-2020"

  1. Path.GetDirectoryNamereturns a full path when passed one.

    when you pass this string:

    C:\XXX\XXX\XXX\XXX\XXX\10-21-2020

    what that function does is search until the last \ and returns everything until there

    C:\XXX\XXX\XXX\XXX\XXX

    if 10-21-2020it's also a folder, that function doesn't know and thinks it's a file...

    but, taking advantage of that, if that is a folder, you can use the function GetFileName, which will return exactly that...

    You can do something like this, do a split and then get the last position and this way it works for you with any route:

    string ruta = @"C:\XXX\XXX\XXX\XXX\XXX\10-21-2020";

            var division = ruta.Split("\\");

            var fecha = division[division.Length-1];

            Console.WriteLine(fecha);
