Regex Get path name from full path

Question

can anyone give me a few examples of getting the path from a full path..e.g

c:\aaa\bbb\c cc\file.exe

to

c:\aaa\bbb\c cc\

more than 1 example method would be cool but must be regex only, this is for a language called ICI but it has similar regex to perl and other such language this is why I need a few examples, atleast one will work better than the other and i can modify it.

thanks!

Answer 1

try this pattern it will help full

[^\\]+\\

Answer 2

Here is a basic example of an inverse regex (finds the filename). Just use the substring before the start to get the path.

[\w]*[.][\w]*$

And the path only:

.*[\\]

Answer 3

Group (1) will give you c:\aaa\bbb\c cc with this

(.*)\\\w*\.

You can use

(.*\\)\w*\.

if you want to capture the last \
