Question

How do I retrieve all filenames matching a pattern in a directory? I tried this but it returns the full path instead of the filename.

Directory.GetFiles (path, "*.txt")

Do I have to manually crop the directory path off of the result? It’s easy but maybe there is an even simpler solution 🙂

Answer 1

foreach (string s in Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.txt").Select(Path.GetFileName))
       Console.WriteLine(s);
