I want to match repeat character(/) only once in the middle of the string. At the start it must be http://www.website/shop. Now I am using this code and it matches all html. How can I restrict it.

'^[http://www.website/shop/].*.html$'

With this regex, no result ^[http://]\W*(/){2}\W

Valid 

   http://www.website/shop/men.html
   http://www.website/shop/women.html

Invalid

   http://www.website/shop/men/footwear.html
   http://www.website/shop/men/causal.html
   http://www.website/shop/women/footwear.html

  • Not clear what you're asking? I can't see how you expect valid and invalid to be any different... Commented Mar 28, 2013 at 1:06

    \W is opposite of \w, i.e. it's any character except letters and numbers... Commented Mar 28, 2013 at 1:18

This regex should work

"http://www.website/shop/\w*.html"

... it won't match if there's another slash after the slashes in .../shop/

it is working but how about the link like "website/shop/men+hair.html". If I use your answer, I cannot get this kind of link.
this doesn't generate any html. The restrictions must start with "website/shop" and regex must not match the string if it has another slash. And the string can also have + in the middle of the html. Any ideas?
give me an example of when it fails so i can make sure i understand what you're saying
These are not matched with website/shop\w*\+*\w*.html. The program is just terminated.
