I have a file in this path
D:\ebook\comic\Author,_Title_of_Book_(http://google.com).cbz
I need to separate the string using regex and get Author, Title, and URL. The text output should be
Author
Title_of_Book
http://google.com
So far i have
([^\\]+)\.[^\\]+$
Which will get me the file only.
^[^,]*\\([^,]*),_([^(]*)_\(([^)]*)\)
This regular expression will do the following:

UPDATE @RoYoMi posted a far superior answer, but as I'd already done the work, here you go.
Since you only tagged regex here, I didn't know what language you needed to get this working in. I whipped up a JSFiddle test for this example. Here is the code.
<p>
<input type="text" id="val" value="D:\ebook\comic\AuthorLastName_FirstName,Title_of_Book_(http://google.com).cbz" style="width:100%;" />
</p>
<div id="name"></div>
<div id="title"></div>
<div id="url"></div>
<script>
var val = document.getElementById("val").value;
var name = /\w+(?=[,])/.exec(val).toString().replace(/[_]/g, " ");
var title = /\w+(?=[(])/.exec(val).toString().replace(/[_]/g, " ");
var url = /((http)(s?)[:](\/\/))(.*?)(?=[)])/i.exec(val)[0].toString();
//Better suited with a look behind like this:
//var url = /(?<=[(])(.*?)(?=[)])/.exec(val).toString();
//But JS doesn't support look behinds.
document.getElementById("name").innerHTML = name;
document.getElementById("title").innerHTML = title;
document.getElementById("url").innerHTML = url;
</script>
