Why are you attempting to match a backslash "\" in a Linux directory structure ?
Some of your other choices in the regex are also questionable: The first part appears to be a "greedy" match for ALL characters.

We could help you if you post some data as to what you are looking for, and some sample directories you want matched.
Show both "match" and "not match" cases, along with what you are attempting to extract.
