Hello,
This pattern should work:
(?<= \ : )(.*)

*Please delete the space character between backslash and “:” character

Hi @anmolk171

You can try one more thing, you can use split string method like this

yourArray = yourString.Split(":",c)

Now the item at index 1 in the array would be the name of the game

(?<= \ : ) - Is a positive lookbehind, it searches for the ": ", colon needs to be preceded by the backslash, because it’s special character.
(.*) - Is matching everything after previous pattern.

Please try the online regex testers to understand regex more.

That is a great solution, you can try this also :slight_smile:

yourString.Substring(yourSTring.LastIndexOf(":")+1).ToString

Both the solutions are working for me. I want to do it with regex just for learning.
