C# Best way to get folder depth for a given path?
Off the top of my head:
Directory.GetFullPath().Split("\\").Length;
I'm more than late on this but I wanted to point out Paul Sonier's answer is probably the shortest but should be:
Path.GetFullPath(tmpPath).Split(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar).Length;
I'm always a fan the recursive solutions. Inefficient, but fun!
public static int FolderDepth(string path)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(path))
return 0;
DirectoryInfo parent = Directory.GetParent(path);
if (parent == null)
return 1;
return FolderDepth(parent.FullName) + 1;
}
I love the Lisp code written in C#!
Here's another recursive version that I like even better, and is probably more efficient:
public static int FolderDepth(string path)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(path))
return 0;
return FolderDepth(new DirectoryInfo(path));
}
public static int FolderDepth(DirectoryInfo directory)
{
if (directory == null)
return 0;
return FolderDepth(directory.Parent) + 1;
}
Good times, good times...
