how to get only the name of the file, not the whole path?

[Ben]

Hi,

i need the filename of files located in a directory.

I use this:
Directory.GetFi les(Server.MapP ath("~/mydirectory/")
For Each fileName In fileEntries
name=fileName
next

but this guves the full path. Any way to get only the filename? Of course i
can use substring, but does it exist a function?
Thanks
Ben

Check out the functions in the System.IO.Path namespace. This namespace has
all functions to manipulate file names etc.
