Checking url string in Regular Expression

Question

Admit that I suck in writing regular expression. Please help me to solve how to write regular expression for success-apply founded in URL just like http://www.example.com/success-apply/

@DavidBrabant just find whether success-apply is included in URL string or not. — Pyae Phyoe Shein

Assuming that the pattern success-apply changes:

example\.com\/([^\/]+)
# capture everything that is not a forward slash one or unlimited times

Here is this regex example with PCRE (PHP).

If you however only want to know if the string is there at all, regular expressions seem a bit of an overkill. Consider the following PHP code:

if (strpos($url, 'success-apply') !== FALSE) {
   // do sth useful
}

I think this answer is incorrect... because you are not finding the match sucess-apply in an url... you re finding in the entire text, whatever it is

You mean I'm not checking if it's a valid url before I'm searching for the keyword? I don't think this is what the OP is asking for. He has a list of urls (I assume), wether they are valid or not is in this case not the question, but if these strings contain the keywords or not.
