regular expression alarm url

[Joachim082]

Hi,

I have a problem with regular expression. I would like to filter only the name of a dsc alarm url: \\EW-MONITOR\monitor\000_t-ist_STB-M1-AS.Alarms.HI should be 000_t-ist_STB-M1-AS . Has somebody an hint for me?

Best Regards,

What will be constant in the name?  Will it always be between "monitor/" and ".Alarms"?  Will the format always be "###_<some text>_<other text>"?

This will be easy once I know what to look for.

If as jcarmody asked, the name will always be between "monitor\" and ".Alarms" use the sub match output of Match Regular Expression

It pulls out the alam name from the whole match.

And, if the other option is true, this regexp will give you the name in the "whole match" output.

Thanks, that works great for me
