Replace string part with regex pattern

Question

I would like to replace the following string.

img/s/430x250/

The problem is there are variations, like:

img/s/265x200/

or:

img/s/110x73/

So I would like to replace this part in whole, but the numbers are changeable, so how could I make a pattern that replaces it from a string?

Answer 1

Is your goal to match all three of those cases?

If so, this should work: img\\/s\\/\\d+x\\d+\\/

It searches for img/s/[1 or more digits]x[1 or more digits]/

Answer 2

This regular expression will match your examples

img\/s\/\d+?x\d+?\/

the / matches / the \\d matches digits 0-9 and the + means 1 or more. The ? makes it lazy instead of greedy.

the img and s just match that literally
