Find all directories in directory and return only name

Question

I want to find all directories in one directory in vb.net.

I found one script:

For Each Dir As String In Directory.GetDirectories(FolderName)
    Com         


        

Answer 1

  For Each Dir As String In Directory.GetDirectories(FolderName)
        ComboBox3.Items.Add(IO.Path.GetFileName(Dir))
  Next

Answer 2

Use this to get only the directory name:

dirName = IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(fullPath)

Answer 3

The simplest way is to use System.IO.DirectoryInfo:

    For Each Dir As String In System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(FolderName)
        Dim dirInfo As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(Dir)
        ComboBox3.Items.Add(dirInfo.Name)
    Next

(Obviously, you could parse it manually and extract out the text following the final '\', but I believe that the above is more readable)

Answer 4

Give this a try

    For Each d As String In IO.Directory.GetDirectories(FolderName)
        'IO.Path.GetFileName
        'The characters after the last directory character in path.
        ComboBox3.Items.Add(IO.Path.GetFileName(d))
    Next

This takes advantage of the fact that you have a list of directories and what IO.Path.GetFileName actually does.

Answer 5

I think the easiest way would be using String.Replace to remove FolderName from the beginning of the directory full name.

For Each Dir As String In System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(FolderName)
    ComboBox3.Items.Add(Dir.Replace(FolderName, String.Empty))
Next
