Regex for a shared path

I am having issues with a regex for server paths. I have many paths and they can differentiate like:

\\server1\folder\file

or 

\\server2\folder\subfolder\file

I need to get the server name out of it and only the server name. I have tried using 

[\\(.*?)\\]

which gets the inverse of what I want and multiple parts rather than just the server name. What is the proper expression?

This regex matches everything between the \\ and the first \: 

(?<=\\\\)[^\\]*

Explanation

  • (?<=\\\\) - starts with double \

  • [^\\]* - matches any character except \
