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[^]?

This is a .net example:

C#
(?n)(?<=^([^\\]*\\){2}).*

v3
Try this pattern (?:[^\\]*\\){2}(.*)
You can validate the test cases using RegExr: Learn, Build, & Test RegEx[^]

Take a look at this pattern: ^((?>\w\:\\.*?\\))(.*?)\\
