Regular Expression to find last folder in a path

Question

I would like to find the last folder in a path. Ex:

G:\DATA1\DATA2\DATA3\DATA4\my target\file.xxx

I need to extract my target. I tried (^.*\\)(.*\\) but the result is my target\. Someone can fix it?

Answer 1

Use the power of greedy operator along with capturing group.

.*\\([^\\]+)\\

OR

Use the same regex but get out of the last backslash from the second capturing group.

.*\\(.*)\\

Get the string you want from group index 1.
