How can I strip the folder names out of a file path in VB?

Question

for example

c:\one\two\three\four

I want to pass the folder names on to another part of the program, how would I go about getting them?

Answer 1

You'd use the Split method of String...

Dim filePath as String = "c:\one\two\three\four"

Dim split as String() = filePath.Split('\')

You could at this point pass the string array "split" and it would contain the elements in the following order

0 - c:

1 - one

2 - two

3 - three

4 - four
