| I have three strings | |
| /kinto_read-only_1 | |
| /kinto_read-only_1/db1 | |
| /kinto_read-only_1/db1_1 | |
| * I want matches only on the first string | |
| * the digit after a _ could be any number (ie only_1, only_2, only_3) | |
| * the number after db1 could be any number (ie db1, db2) | |
| Need a pattern to match this using Python's PRE functions |
(Updated because I made a mistake)
Yeah, I only want matching the first string to be true
what are the rules that cause the first to be true? No "/" characters after the "_"???
So not something as simple as ^/(kinto_read-only_\d+)?
re.match("^/kinto_read-only_\d+$", "/kinto_read-only_1") for completeness (with the ending $).
^ that one.
If you don't care about matching the exact kinto... string, you could generalize Ikke's answer down to ^/[^/]+$

If you want to match only the first string, why the requirement on the rest of the parts after it? or do you mean you want to catpure the first part
