I am trying to trim the path from a filename. With the following code, it returns "My Documents" where I should be getting "Test.txt". if I change the 1 to a 4 I get what I'm looking for, but that's not going to work if I'm working with a file deeper into subdirectories.I need it to display the name of the file regardless of location or file type. Any ideas?
Private Sub trimname()

View 2 RepliesI'm writing a simple application in vb.net and need to output some information to a log file for diagnostic purposes.In order to ensure that the log file doesn't get too big, I need to trim it to a certain number of lines (say 5000). For performance reasons, the trimming doesn't have to occur each time a log entry is written out nor is it critical that trimming occurs (for example, if the application crashes prematurely).
However I'm not really sure the best way to trim it. Loading the entire log into memory and then re-writing only the last 5000 lines back out would work, but I'm sure there is a cleaner and better way to do this.
