Hi. I want to extract a string before the last symbol in a file path “" for an example path “C:\Users\AAAA\Downloads\Testfile.xlsx” but keep getting to after the last symbol using this InputPath.Substring(InputPath.LastIndexOf(”")+"".Length).Split(Environment.NewLine.ToCharArray)(0) which returns the string Testfil.xlsx. Can anyone suggest a correct command please?

Hi @ciaramkm
use this method

Directory.GetParent(“C:\Users\AAAA\Downloads\Testfile.xlsx”)

This will give the output like this
C:\Users\AAAA\Downloads

Inputpath.substring(0,(Inputpath.lastindexof(“”))) can also be used.
