Type argument should be string.

Use this in your loop

Path.GetFilename(file)

And yes when you are using Directory.GetFiles() TypeArgument should be String, this will give you path just pass that to above code

How to get the exact file names?

I am using UI path for my development. Have few clarifications below . I am trying to get the File name exactly from the path mentioned. Say for example, 3 pdf files are in “C:\users\kk\hi.pdf”, “C:\users\kk\welcome.pdf”, “C:\users\kk\readme.pdf”. I tried to get the PDF names using the foreach item after providing the path using “Directory.getfiles(selectedfolder)”. I am trying to get the file name exactly to pass for the next condition. like, i just need the names of it “hi.pdf”,“welcome.pdf”…

Thanks,
