Thank you for your question. You can follow the bellow code.

C#

String strOutput = String.Empty;

//attendence.pdf
String strTemp=@"FROM LABO VAN VOOREN\Geomeasuring & Analysis nv\BORING\gfh\171210\attendence.pdf";
String [] strArray = strTemp.Split(new Char [] {'\\'});
strOutput = strArray[strArray.Length - 1];//attendence.pdf

//fromtheliveofthearticle.pd
strTemp = @"FROM LABO VAN VOOREN\Geomeasuring & Analysis nv\BORING\gfh\171210\fromtheliveofthearticle.pdf";
strArray = strTemp.Split(new Char[] { '\\' });
strOutput = strArray[strArray.Length - 1]; //fromtheliveofthearticle.pd

Thanks,
Mamun

Solution 2

Suppose you have the string stored in a variable called 'path'.
So, this is how you get the file name part.

C#

string path = @"FROM LABO VAN VOOREN\Geomeasuring & Analysis nv\BORING\gfh\171210\attendence.pdf";
string fileName = path.Substring(path.LastIndexOf("\\") + 1);
