Hi all,

Under workflow, using regular expression, I need to get the parent's folder and the folder before.

Example :

Folder Main \ Folder 1 \ Folder 2 \ Folder 3 \ document.

I want to get "Folder 2 \ Folder 3".

I tried ([^\\]*)$ but I only get "Folder 3".

With (\\.*\\*)$ I have Folder 1 too (I don't want Folder 1)

Someone have the pattern?

Thanks in advance

Regards

Oliver,

You can do it in pattern matching, but I prefer the two following approaches.

1. Do a split on \ in your token editor, then apply the index from the end.

2. Use the find entry activity on the entry ID you are looking for as it also returns the parent folder ID, name and more.
