Trying to run a program with a path /release/0.0.0.100/program.exe where /release always contains only one folder with a changing version number in the pattern of \d.\d.\d.\d\d\d. Is there a way to find / and run the program using wsh javascript or other scripting language?

too lazy to work out the details, but the documentation you need is here: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee236359%28v=vs.84%29.aspx – Ben Brammer Jun 9 at 21:21

This regex will do the match part, I modified your expression so that the dots where also escaped \.. In a regular expression a . means to match any character whereas an escaped dot \. will match a literal dot .. Depending on the language you may also need to escape the slashes so they look like \/

\/release\/\d\.\d\.\d\.\d{3}\/

Although if your version numbers could ever contain double digits like the 23 in 1.23.4.555 you should consider adding some plus signs to require 1 or more digits between the dots.

\/release\/\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d{3}\/
