How do I trim the following string?

Question

I have the string: "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/transfer/Get" . I want to trim everything from the last slash, so I just remain with "Get" .

Answer 1

var s = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/transfer/Get";
s = s.Substring(s.LastIndexOf("/") + 1);

Answer 2

You could use the LastIndexOf method to get the position of the last / in the string and pass that into the Substring method as how many characters you want to trim off the string. That should leave you with the Get at the end.

[TestMethod]
  public void ShouldResultInGet()
  {
     string url = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/transfer/Get";

     int indexOfLastSlash = url.LastIndexOf( '/' ) + 1; //don't want to include the last /

     Assert.AreEqual( "Get", url.Substring( indexOfLastSlash ) );
  }

Answer 3

Use String.LastIndexOf to get the last forward slash

Answer 4

URI alternative if your using the well formed /Get /Put /Delete etc

var uri = new System.Uri("http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/transfer/Get");
string top = Path.GetFileName(uri.LocalPath);

Answer 5

try

int indexOfLastSlash = url.LastIndexOf( '/' ) + 1;

string s = url.Remove(0, indexOfLastSlash);

Assert.AreEqual( "Get", s );

this removes all data before & including the last '/'.

works fine here.
