Question

Does anyone knows how to remove/replace from string "/" and "\" in C#?

I have string which looks like this:

string myString= @"d:\Folder1\folder name2\file.ext";

I need either get rid of "\" or just get file name without all this garbage of its location.

The Path class

Path.GetFileName(str_myString);
Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(str_myString);

Whenever you need to do something modifying a path, the Path class is a go-to solution. It’s platform-specific, and at least on windows, it supports both / and \ (via Path.DirectorySeparatorChar and Path.AltDirectorySeparatorChar).
