Question

I need to extract just the filename (no file extension) from the following path….

\\my-local-server\path\to\this_file may_contain-any&character.pdf

I’ve tried several things, most based off of something like http://regexr.com?302m5 but can’t quite get there

Answer 1

^\\(.+\\)*(.+)\.(.+)$

This regex has been tested on these two examples:

\var\www\www.example.com\index.php
\index.php

First block “(.+\)*” matches directory path.
Second block “(.+)” matches file name without extension.
Third block “(.+)$” matches extension.
