Question

I’ve been trying to capture the last folder in a folder path using regular expressions in C# but am just too new to this to figure this out. For example if I have C:\Projects\Test then the expression should return Test. If I have H:\Programs\Somefolder\Someotherfolder\Final then the result should be Final. I’ve tried the below code but it just blows up. Thanks for any help.

string pattern = ".*\\([^\\]+$)";
Match match = Regex.Match("H:\\Projects\\Final", pattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

Why are you using a regex. You can just use DirectoryInfo.Name

var directoryname = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\Projects\Test").Name;
\\The variable directoryname will be Test
