You can use regular expression to search for the text between “Invoices” and “\”. Refer to the screenshot below.

Hi @StevenIsRobotOnline

You can use the regular expressions to get the required output. Use the below regex to extract the output.

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Matches(yourstringinput.ToString,“((?<=\\w**).(?=*\\w))”)

@StevenIsRobotOnline

As this is a path…it would be good to use path related commands

Path.GetFileName(Path.GetDirectoryName("YourPath"))

or

new DirectoryInfo(System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName("YourPath")).Name

cheers
