Have to extract the country from the file path

There is list of file path from which I have to extract country name.

 

Example:

File Path
G:\A\AS\Projects\Input\Guam & NMI\Apple.xlsx
G:\A\AS\Projects\Input\Form\Guam & NMI\Apple_1.xlsx
G:\A\AS\Projects\Input\Indonesia\Mango.xlsx
G:\A\Projects\Input\Singapore\Mango.xlsx
G:\A\Projects\Input\Output\Singapore\Mango.xlsx

 

Now the logic should be is to select the data which is between Last \ symbol and second last \ symbol because the number of \ symbol could vary but the country name will always before the last \ symbol

 

Output:

File PathCountry
G:\A\AS\Projects\Input\Guam & NMI\Apple.xlsx Guam & NMI
G:\A\AS\Projects\Input\Form\Guam & NMI\Apple_1.xlsxGuam & NMI
G:\A\AS\Projects\Input\Indonesia\Mango.xlsx

Indonesia

G:\A\Projects\Input\Singapore\Mango.xlsxSingapore
G:\A\Projects\Input\Output\Singapore\Mango.xlsxSingapore

Hey @Sshasnk, as long as that pattern is consistent as you say there'll be a few variations that work for this. If you use the RegEx tool in Parse mode with the following expression then this will work:

 

 

.+\\(.+)\\
