Regex Tool

Hi - I am pretty new to Regex and I want to extract the word "Title" from below. Can someone please advise if I use the Regex tool, what do I put in the Regular Expression field if I just want to parse "Title"?

E:\Title\SANDBOX\Below \Scotch Tape.zip

E:\Title\SANDBOX\Below PPPPP (2022-05-31).zip

Hi @OEvangelista 

 

You can use this one:

(?<=E\:\\)(.*?)(?=\\)

It is basically parsing everything between E\: and the next \

Hi, @OEvangelista 

 

Dear, the other way don't need regex for your case:

Substring([Path],FindString([Path], "\")+1,FindString(ReplaceFirst([Path], "\", "?"), "\")-(FindString([Path], "\")+1))
