I am actually looking for the regex. Basically I want to match the below URL
/test/*/contact/*
My inputs are something like this
/test/1234/contact/abcd ---- This is correct
/test/abcd/1234/contact/abcd --- This should show not match
I tried the regex as
\/test\/\S+\/contact\/\S+
By using the above exp it is showing both are correct. can someone help me how to exclude the forward slash?
The \S pattern matches /. You should rely on [^\/] negated character class and use anchors:
^\/test\/[^\/]+\/contact\/[^\/]+$
See the regex demo
Details
^ - start of string\/test\/ - /test/[^\/]+ - 1+ chars other than /\/contact\/ - /contact/[^\/]+ - 1+ chars other than /$ - end of string.
