I basically have one column that needs to be substringed. The format of the column looks as follow:

Column A
--------
Root\FOLDERPATH\somesubfolderpath\somedocument.doc

The first string “Root\” will always be the same lengt with same characters. Everything after the “Root\” could vary in lenght depending on the document’s folder structure.

What I need to retrieve is the second string. Using the above example, the column should look lilke:

Column A
--------
FOLDERPATH

So I need to cut out the “Root\” obtain the string after this and cut out everything after this.
