Javascript Reg Ex Help! 1

[CJAI]

I need to validate a file path so that it has the following format. The bolded text is what I need to validate.

[b]W:\Documentation Team Shares\[/b]some folder[b]\Draft\[/b]Some File name

Any help is highly appreciated as I'm not too fond of regular expressions.

this ought to do it:

<script type="text/javascript">
	var s1 = "W:\\Documentation Team Shares\\some folder\\Draft\\Some File name";
	var s2 = "W:\\Documentation Team Shares\\some folder\\other folder\\Draft\\Some File name";
	var s3 = "W:\\Documentation Team Shares\\some folder\\Draft\\Some File name.extension";

	var re = /^W:\\Documentation Team Shares\\[\w\s]+\\Draft\\[\w\s\.]+$/;

	alert(s1 + "\n" + re.test(s1));
	alert(s2 + "\n" + re.test(s2));
	alert(s3 + "\n" + re.test(s3));
</script>
