.NET/C# – opposite of Path.Combine: remove trailing DirectorySeparatorChar
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/01/01
For a project, I needed to strip the potential Path.DirectorySeparatorChar and Path.AltDirectorySeparatorChar.
Where Path.Combine will combine two paths and insert the DirectorySeparatorChar, I could not find the opposite, so I wrote this little piece of code:
using System.IO;
namespace BeSharp.IO
{
public class PathHelper
{
public static string RemoveTrailingDirectorySeparators(string directory)
{
string result = directory.TrimEnd(Path.AltDirectorySeparatorChar, Path.DirectorySeparatorChar);
return result;
}
}
}

via:
- Path.Combine Method (System.IO).
- Path.DirectorySeparatorChar Field (System.IO).
- Path.AltDirectorySeparatorChar Field (System.IO).
