Question

I have to get the path excluding the relative path from the full path,
say

The relative path is ,C:\User\Documents\

fullpath ,C:\User\Documents\Test\Folder2\test.pdf

I want to get only the path after the relative path i.e \Test\Folder2\test.pdf

how can i achieve this.

I am using C# as the programming language

Answer 1

You are not talking about relative, so i will call it partial path.
If you can be sure that the partial path is part of your full path its a simple string manipulation:

string fullPath = @"C:\User\Documents\Test\Folder2\test.pdf";
string partialPath = @"C:\User\Documents\";
string resultingPath = fullPath.Substring(partialPath.Length);

This needs some error checking though – it will fail when either fullPath or partialPath is null or both paths have the same length.
