how to get full name to blob

Question

How do we get the path to a specific blob without the container name?

You can list blobs like so:

            var query = await @in.ListBlobsSegmentedAsync(string.Empty, true, BlobListingDetails.None, int.MaxValue, null, null, null);
            var blobs = query.Results.OfType<CloudBlockBlob>()
                .OrderByDescending(m => m.Properties.LastModified)
                .Take(msg.Quantity)
                .ToList();

You can then iterate each one:

            foreach (var blob in blobs)
            {
                var filepath = string.Join("/", blob.Uri.LocalPath.Split('/').Skip(2));
                //dostuff

            }

Instead of having to do this ugly string.Join("/", blob.Uri.LocalPath.Split('/').Skip(2)) join/split, can we get the path ( minus the container name ) in a simpler way such as blob.Path() or something?

Example: storageAccount\\myContainer\\some\\path\\file.jpg

Expected Result : \\some\\path\\file.jpg

You can just do blob.Name to get the full path of the blob.

 foreach (var blob in blobs)
    {
       var filepath = blob.Name;
    }

Example:

My output was this New Directory/test.svg
