If you have a path for example: \\MyServer\MyFolderA\MyFolderB\MyFile.jpg and you need to parse out the filename, directory name or the directory parent name. You should use the fileinfo class instead of a regex expression or a string split. See the example code below:

Code Snippet
 using System;
using System.IO;
 
class Test
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string file = @"\\MyServer\MyFolderA\MyFolderB\MyFile.jpg";
        FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(file);
        Console.WriteLine(fi.Name);                  // Prints File.jpg
        Console.WriteLine(fi.Directory.Name);        // Prints FolderB
        Console.WriteLine(fi.Directory.Parent.Name); // Prints FolderA
    }
}
