Hi, I have following example:

C:\C4\trunk\Catalog\bvh\dance\dance2.bvh

and I need to extract last folder name (dance). The variable parts are - last folder name and file name, so text can be

C:\C4\trunk\Catalog\bvh\sit\sit_female.bvh  (result should be "sit")

C:\C4\trunk\Catalog\bvh\sit\sit_male.bvh   (result should be "sit")

C:\C4\trunk\Catalog\bvh\battle\shoot.bvh    (result should be "battle")

Thanks,

 -Lev 

[^\\]+(?=\\[^\\]+$)

Thanks! Exactly what I need.
