Text between from the right side

Hello all,

as you can read in the title, how can I to the text between function from the right side?

Example:

c:\\Folder\Sub\Sub2\File1.txt

c:\\Folder\Sub\Sub3\Sub7\File2.txt

c:\\Folder\Sub\Sub2\File3.txt

I need to get a column with values like this:

Table:

File1,

File2,

File3.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance

Try this may be:

Replace(SubField(FieldName, '\', -1), '.txt', '')


Update:

Script:

Table:

LOAD *,

  Replace(SubField(FieldName, '\', -1), '.txt', '') as NewFieldName;

LOAD * Inline [

FieldName

c:\\Folder\Sub\Sub2\File1.txt

c:\\Folder\Sub\Sub3\Sub7\File2.txt

c:\\Folder\Sub\Sub2\File3.txt

];
