Question

extract a folder name from a path

Updated February 9, 2018

asked on February 8, 2018

Hi,

I need to extract a folder name after the 5-digit number from a path. There is always a 5-digit number before the path I want to extract. The first part of the path always begins with cnb-fs1\PentaImages-HR-LF\Ready to be Processed\

For example,

I have this path here cnb-fs1\PentaImages-HR-LF\Ready to be Processed\10000\Workers Compensation\10000wc020199.pdf and I need to extract the word "Workers Compensation".

Can I get some help please? I spent half a day looking at this. :(

Thanks!
Faz

Hi Vilasinee,

Where are you trying to extract/capture the folder name?

If you are working in workflow and looking for a regexp, this will work: \d{5}\\(.+)\\

Is there always just 1 folder level after the 5 digit level? If not a better expression may be \\\d{5}\\([^\\]+)
