Pull characters from an array or a string

Hi - 

 

I am trying to capture the GUID dynamically uploaded file from the {fullpath} in a SharePoint library. 

 

/project/Ecological Restoration_A7A37C954B0C48F28228373BD2F719FA/Book.xlsx

 

How do I pull that out in a substring when only the 32-character limit is consistent?

 

Thank you!

    Does the GUID always appear in the same slot in the path?  Might be sufficient to do a split() on the slash and grab the element 2, then split that by underscore and grab element 1.
