Regular expression to match string after exactly two forward slash

Question

say I have a file name like this

 ./Music/pop-rock/Stray Cats/Greatest Hits/01 - Rock This Town.ogg
 ./Music/classical/Handel/Basic Handel/disk1/04 - Wassermusik - Allegro.ogg

I want a regular expression that will match

Stray Cats 

and

Handel 

since they come after exactly two forward slash.

Also will I use the idea if I wanted to match what came exactly after 3 forward slashes?

like

Greatest Hits

I have searched and haven't got any expression that is consistent all through

Answer 1

I wouldn't use regex. Maybe use str.split() like so:

filepath = './Music/pop-rock/Stray Cats/Greatest Hits/01 - Rock This Town.ogg'
answer = filepath.split('/')[3]

If you want to get the result after 3 slashes, just change the index of the split list.

Answer 2

Instead of regex, use a str.split() function. Do something like:

pathname = r'./Music/classical/Handel/Basic Handel/disk1/04 - Wassermusik - Allegro.ogg'
my_str = pathname.split('/')[3]
