Regex pattern get specific text from url

Question

How can i use regex to get the keyword appName from possible url string like below

i have tried this /(?<=webapp/)(.*)(?=#)/g but it only works with example2 and example3

example1: http://localhost:1001/myapp/appName
example2: http://localhost:1001/myapp/appName#!/
example3: http://localhost:1001/myapp/appName#!/Test
example4: http://localhost:1001/myapp/appName/test/what

You can use: /(?<=\/myapp\/)[\w-]+/

Just modify it to /(?<=myapp\/).*?(?=(?:[#\/]|$))/g

You can use this regex:

(?<=\/myapp\/)[^?#\/]+

RegEx Demo

[^?#\/]+: Match 1+ characters that are not in the character class i.e. ?,#,/

You can use this:

    (\/myapp\/)(.*?)[^?#\/\n]+
    replace $2

I think you should change webapp to myapp. If the "appName" consists of only word characters [A-Za-z0-9_], you could use \w+:

(?<=myapp/)\w+
