string data_directory = path.getDirectoryName(data_path);
// result: C:\CSPro Data Files\Region 1\

string data_filename = path.getFilename(data_path);
// result: COVID-19 Survey.csdb

string data_extension = path.getExtension(data_path);
// result: .csdb

string data_filename_without_extension = path.getFilenameWithoutExtension(data_path);
// result: COVID-19 Survey
