Eorror in Regex

[yxq]

Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions

Dim objRegex As Regex
MessageBox.Show(objRegex.Split("C:\Test.txt", ":\")(0))

The error will occour, seem that the "\" can not become list separator.
If that will not work, how to separate using ":\"

Thank you

Hi,

\ is a special character in regular expressions. You need to
enclose the search in [\^ \].

MessageBox.Show(Regex.Split("C:\Test.txt", "[\^:\\]")(0))

Why "Regex.Split("\\", "[\^:\\]").Length = 3"

I am wondering why you do not use 'System.IO.Path.*' for this purpose.
