Solution 1

Easiest way?

C#

string path = "C:\\Workspaces\\thisRequired\\Di\\DiDe\\bin\\Debug";
string[] parts = path.Split('\\');
if (parts.Length >= 3)
    {
    Console.WriteLine(parts[2]);
    }

Solution 2

You can either use the Split[^] function to chop the whole path string up into the substrings between "\\", or you can use the IndexOf[^] and Substring[^] functions to find it and extract it.
