Splitting / Parsing help in .net

Ok i need would like to know the proper way to manipulate strings.

I'm trying to convert this:
"C:\Stuff\Music\Disturbed\01-blah.mp3"
to
"C:\Stuff\Music\Disturbed\"

How do i go about doing this, i messed with mid, instr, instrrev and seem to fail.....

This is the current code if it helps:

Code:

    For Each strPath In strFileCount
        intChrCount = InStrRev(strPath, "\")
        str = Mid(strPath, 1, Len(strPath) - intChrCount)
        MsgBox(str)
    Next

 

Just split it with "\" and then just put it all back together minus the last piece? I don't know how to do it in .net but its pretty simple in java...

 

Code:

        Dim Path As String = "path\to\file\file.type"
        If (Path.Contains("\")) Then
            Path = Path.Remove(Path.LastIndexOf("\"))
        End If

String.Remove() Removes all the characters in a string from a specified index, up until either the end or the specified length. String.LastIndexOf() should be fairly obvious.

Sorry for hijacking your thread, hope you don't mind.

I'm trying to pull some text off a webpage (for example, if I want to find HAUUU~ in your signature, Swan, I'd have to parse this (you probably already know this, but I'm putting it out there for the benefit of people who don't):

Code:

<font color="Red"><b>HAUUU~~ (Click above)</b></font></a></div>

And grab the text between the <b> and </b>.

Assuming that the text I need to find is wrapped by unique HTML codes, how would I go about extracting the text? I've tried using a pos() check on both, and grabbing the substring from the start position to the end position, but unfortunately, this does not seem to work.
