i need extract directory file in, in folder path. so, created simple regex. here example path \\myvdi\prod\2014\10\ltcg\ltcg_v2306_03_07_2014_1226.pfd

the regex below find need, problem storing variable. have below. fails @ string array

  string[] temp = targetfile.split("\\.*\\");   folder = temp[0]; 

suggestions?

thanks!

edit exception being thrown is: java.util.regex.patternsyntaxexception: unexpected internal error near index 4

simply, need:

string path = "\\myvdi\\prod\\2014\\10\\ltcg\\ltcg_v2306_03_07_2014_1226.pfd"; string dir = path.substring(0, path.lastindexof("\\") + 1);
