UNC and folder path regular expressions

Hi.

I need two regular expressions that will work in .Net

The first one is for valid unc paths to file shares..

server,share,folder names can be any vailid windows name

so these are valid
\\server\share
\\server\share name
\\server\share$
\\server\share$\folder

etc

these are not valid
\\server\share\ <- cant end in slash
\\server\share\file.ext
The second one is similar but for folders
valid
c:\
c:\foldername
c:\folder name
c:\foldername\foldername

no valid
c:
c:\foldername\
c:\foldername\foldername\
c:\foldername\file.ext

so again can not end in a slash unless its a root path. All valid
windows folder names allowed.

Any help appreciated as regular expressions.. I just cant get my head
round.

Thanks
Amit
