Here is a pattern:

[^\\]+$

for this kind of search I’d tend use Path.GetFileName

(?<filename>[^\\]+)(?<extension>\.\w+)$

You can then use on the resulting match (MyMatch):

MyMatch.Groups("filename").ToString

or Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension

hey buddy @SenzoD
i hope your doing this in for each loop you can do this
use assign value like this strVar = path.GetFileName(item).split("."c)(0)

@SenzoD -
Insted of writting regex logic to get the file name -
Crate a variable ex fileName
fileName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(“C:\Users\SenzoD\Desktop\Automation-Project101\SampleImages\IM-0019-0001.jpeg”)
