You're missing the negation `^` in the character class. Also, you're using forward slashes in the regex, but backslashes in the string. Moreover, I'm not sure the `?` is needed. `#! /usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use utf8; my $input = 'TEXT: "C:\temp\test äbc.txt"'; print $input =~ /.TEXT:\s+".[\\]([^\\"]+)"/; # ~ ~ ~ ~` [download] `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

^

?

#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use utf8;

my $input = 'TEXT: "C:\temp\test äbc.txt"';

print $input =~ /.*TEXT:\s+".*[\\]([^\\"]+)"/;
#                            ~  ~   ~ ~
