How do I extract each folder name into a string if I don't know how many folders there are in the path and I don't know the folder names?
Many thanks | ```
string mypath = @"..\folder1\folder2\folder2";
string[] directories = mypath.Split(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar);
```
Edit:
This returns each individual folder in the directories array. You can get the number of folders returned like this:
```
int folderCount = directories.Length;
