If you want to get everything until a slash, just use:

/(.*?)\\/
  • (.*?) Capture group, containing the text until slash (not included)
  • .* Match everything 0 or more times.
  • ? make the quantifier (*) lazy, so it matches only until the first slash if there are more than one.

I find regex101.com really useful for testing regex.

I think you just need an extra backslash...

/[^\\]*/
