If anyone could help with a way to parse the name i will appreciate it (The last "\" will be the delimiter).

Hi @BautistaC888 

 

You dont need regex you can directly use formula FileGetFileName([Field1])

Try this function in a Formula tool:

 

FileGetFileName(Path): Returns the name portion of the path, without the extension.
