正则表达式匹配字符串与通配符

Question

I have a string with the following format: 'val1/val2/val3/val4'. I want a function which when comparing this string format with this string value 'val1/?/val3/?' to return true. The '?' can be any value. I have tried with the string include method but this doesn't cover the '?' value.How can I do this using regular expressions in javascript?

Thanks in advance

Try using this pattern:

val1/[^/]+/val3/.*

Sample:

String input = "val1/some_path/val3/stuff";
if (input.matches("val1/[^/]+/val3/.*")) {
    System.out.println("match");
}
