Why do I get the following "Invalid Expression" when using the "$" symbol for regex end of line? This is a very common and basic regex functionality. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

Hi @Logan Price ,
Could you let us know what exactly it is that you want to replace, and with what?

Thanks, that is exactly what I needed! Also, your original comment that explained that a $$ is needed to escape the character is also true so I marked that as the best answer.

Hi @Logan Price
I had a feeling that this is what you were trying to achieve.
If that is the case, then you have to understand that the String: Replace Action replaces the matched item, which means you have to match those items that you don't want in your string.
Here is a pattern that does just that:
.*\\

Hi @Logan Price ,
When you add a Dollar sign, Automation Anywhere thinks you are trying to reference a variable.
If you want Automation Anywhere to treat a dollar sign as a dollar sign then you have to escape it with another dollar sign like so:
([^(\\|\/)]+$$)
Could you give that a try and let us know if it works out for you?
Kind Regards,

Sure. Let's say that the $AATaskNAme$ gives the following string:
\Bots\Sample1\Sample2\Sample3\Sample4\Match_This_String
I want to isolate "Match_This_String".
My strategy for doing so is to match every character after the final slash ("\" or "/").
The result of my Regex should be a string variable containing only:
"Match_This_String
