Array problem

May 10th, 2006

I have a heck of a situation here, and i'll try to explain it.
For example I have a string containing "c:\\download\\music.mp3" and I want to make it contain only music.mp3 by "filtering" away the rest. Code might seem a bit hard to understand but heres the deal. SelectedFile contains the data I want to filter so the first part reverses the text to "3pm.cisum\\daolnwod\\:c". Second part should put every letter, until a "\" appears, in SelectedFileReversed. And third, reversing SelectedFileReversed back again to "music.mp3". Problem appears at the line " SelectedFileReversed[g] = Convert.ToString(i);" and I can't understand whats wrong. I would be very greatfull for any help =)

Notice: there is a string named SelectedFileReverse and SelectedFileReversed. Try not to mix them up =)

Way too complex for the task. Also, having two such similarly-named methods is a very bad idea.

Look into the String.Split() method. It breaks a string into an array of substrings, based on any delimiter you like. Then, you simply grab the last element of the array as your filename.

Thank you for responding. I know that using simular names is very bad but it was just for the testing.
But I can't figure out how the Split function works, been searching the internet a bit. SelectedFile.Split(something); Can't get it to do what I want =/
