I am terrible with regexes.
What regex would I need to extract "pdf" from the following? This was not pulling all events: ^(?:[^.\n]*.){3}(?P\w+)

NCD-FSPW01,4,8646079,DFS-Groups,Passwords, \NCD-FSPW01\DFS-Groups\Legal\Corporate\Entities\Corporations\1. Terminated Corps\RE3, Inc\Board of Directors Meeting Minutes\2016-01-29 Board Meeting Minutes - RE3, Inc..pdf,1,,False
