How to get the name of a directory by regex?

To get the name of a directory using regex in Python, you can use the re module to match and extract the desired directory name. Here's an example:

pythonCopy code
import re



# Input directory path

directory_path = "/path/to/directory"



# Regex pattern to match directory name

regex_pattern = r"/([^/]+)$"



# Extract directory name using regex

match = re.search(regex_pattern, directory_path)

if match:

    directory_name = match.group(1)

    print("Directory name:", directory_name)

else:

    print("No match found")

In this example, the regex_pattern uses the r"/([^/]+)$" pattern to match the last directory in the given path. The ([^/]+) part captures one or more characters that are not a forward slash, and the $ matches the end of the string.

The re.search() function is used to search for a match in the directory_path using the regex_pattern. If a match is found, the captured group (i.e., the directory name) is extracted using match.group(1).

Make sure to adjust the regex pattern to fit your specific requirements.
