can you try this

"@STRING::/@/@STRING:lastName:-._@ "

This should match alphanumerics including / but followed by a / and a string of alphanumerics including -._that does not include a / and then followed by a space (I forget what your original text to match on looks like.

Thanks. I have tried @ANYSTRING@ but as I suspected it starts matching
on the first / since the pattern is being read left-to-right. What ends
up happening is that the entire file path is included. I still don't see
a way to capture everything between the last / and the ' without knowing
in advance how deep the path will be.
