Directory.CreateDirectory() for a file path while ignoring the filename
I have a file with full path
/path/to/some/very/long/file.txt. I would like to be able to use Directory.CreateDirectory(path) to create all folders and subfolders on the way to that file, but in practice, it ends up creating a file.txt folder at the end. Is there a more elegant solution to this other than splitting my path string on / and reforming it minus the last piece?3 Replies
Yeah, split and join will do the trick
I wonder if
System.Path also has some ways to strip the file name
Probably
A quick and dirty solution would be
thoughyou could also
new FileInfo(filePath).DirectoryName
i'm not sure if that works if the file doesn't exist thoughActually, I found
Path.GetDirectoryName("/very/long/path/to/some/file.txt"), which returns /very/long/path/to/some
Was looking in the wrong place I guess 😄
