Regex for extracting filename from path

Question

I need to extract just the filename (no file extension) from the following path....

\\\\my-local-server\\path\\to\\this_file may_contain-any&character.pdf<

Answer 1

Here's a slight modification to Angelo's excellent answer that allows for spaces in the path, filename and extension as well as missing parts:

function parsePath (path) {
    var parts = (/(\w?\:?\\?[\w\-_ \\]*\\+)?([\w-_ ]+)?(\.[\w-_ ]+)?/gi).exec(path);
    return {
        path: parts[0] || "",
        folder: parts[1] || "",
        name: parts[2] || "",
        extension: parts[3] || "",
    };
}
