Question

I have the following full path:

D:\Test1\Test1_1\Test2_1\Test3_1\Test4_1

If I call

Path.GetFileName(abovePath) will return Test4_1

get directory from full path

Well.

I want to get Test2_1\Test3_1, for example.

How to do that with Path class if is possible ? If not, how to proceed ?

I want a generic example, do not focus only my given full path.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Use DirectoryInfo and Parent, e.g.

var directoryInfo = new DirectoryInfo(abovePath);
var parentDirectoryName = directoryInfo.Parent.Name;
var grandParentDirectoryName = directoryInfo.Parent.Parent.Name;

Note you would want null checks on these but that’s the general idea
