I would like a regex expression

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I have a string variable like this;

D:\TZC\MTConnectAgent\

I'd like to get everything after the 2nd occurrence of \

So the result should be MTConnectAgent\

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

What I have tried:

I have tried this;

(?:.*?\\){2}

But it returns the first part of the string not the last part.

Do you mean something like this: regex101: build, test, and debug regex[^]?
