Hi,
I need to get all the file names without extension from a folder.
Directory.getfiles(path) gives me the entire path of those files. But I need the result as array of strings with only the file names and not the entire path.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
How about the following?
System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(path).Select(Function(f) System.IO.PAth.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(f)).ToArray()
Or if you need to remove duplication, the following will work.
System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(path).Select(Function(f) System.IO.PAth.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(f)).Distinct().ToArray()

I’m using the 2nd code to remove duplicates. I get error. Can you confirm whether the braces () are at the right place?
What will be the output of this? I need the result as “Array Of Strings”
Hey! @besakkiappan46 ,
Try this:
directoryPath = "C:\MyFolder"
files = Directory.GetFiles(directoryPath)
fileNames = files.Select(Function(file) Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file)).ToArray()

Hi,
What error do you have?
The above returns string array.
Regards,
In the last part of the code, I couldn’t provide neither Distinct() nor ToArray(). It accepts only .ToString . Are the braces at the right place?
System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(path).Select(Function(f) System.IO.PAth.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(f)).ToString
It accepts like this only. But here the result is a string. I couldn’t provide Distinct or ToArray at the end of the code which you provided.
If I tweak it like below, It accepts but I get a different error
System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(path).Select(Function(f) System.IO.PAth.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(f).Distinct().ToArray())
It says,Cannot assign system.Collection.generic.Enumerable system.Char to system.string.
Both the above codes doesn’t provide necessary result.
Hi,
Please type as it is even if candidates are not shown.
