Solution

  • This one does the job:

    ^(?:[^/\r\n]*/){6,}[^/\r\n]+

    Explanation:

    ^               : beginning of line
  (?:           : start non capture group
    [^/\r\n]*   : 0 or more any character that is not a slash or a linebreak
    /           : 1 slash
  ){6,}         : end group, must appear 6 or more times
  [^/\r\n]+     : 1 or more any character that is not a slash or a linebreak
