I know this may sound a little confusing, so I am open to suggestions on renaming the title.

Basically I have string such as C:…\Downloads\Folder\SubFolder\SubSubFolder. and I want to return the SubFolder and SubSubFolder only.

So far, my Regex looks like (?=\\Downloads\\.*?\\).* which matches Downloads\Folder\SubFolder\SubSubFolder.

Does anybody have any Ideas what I am missing????

All the solutions below seem to work (except if you didn’t know “Folder”). Potentially a bug with the tool I was using to test the regular expressions.

    You’re missing a single <. You want a look-behind ((?<=...)), but you have a look-ahead ((?=...)).

    In other words, you need (?<=\\Downloads\\.*?\\).*.
