Regex pattern for any string in between

Question

I want to replace strings like

Dependencies\myfolder\1\2\abc.dll
Dependencies\myfolder\abc.dll
Dependencies\myfolder\1\abc.dll

with

packages\abc.dll.

What is the suitable regex pattern to do this. I was expecting the pattern to be -

Dependencies*abc.dll

So my code is -

 var newEntry = packages\abc.dll;
 var pattern = Dependencies*abc.dll;
 var allText = ""; //this contains the text read from a file
 Regex rgx = new Regex(pattern);
 rgx.Replace(allText, newEntry);

But this seems to be a wrong regex pattern.

I think you could use a mere var s = newEntry.Substring(newEntry.LastIndexOf("\\") + 1); Console.WriteLine("packages\\" + s);. — Wiktor Stribiżew

Almost there you need the .* like:

Dependencies(.*)abc.dll
