Default Getting File Name
I'm using a split function to get a the filename now but I think this will break if the depth of directories increase or decrease. Is there a way to get just the filename in a normal and safe manner?

I have

C:\test.txt

I want:

"test.txt"

I know many languages have a basename function which does what you want. However, I'm not sure about C#. While you wait for someone who actually knows the answer, that might help you get started.

You will need to use the Path namespace:

Code:
Path.GetFileName(filePathVariable);
This will return "test.txt" as you mentioned above.
