Regex to match string not working .*/text.*

Question

i just want to match this string with regex: How can i do this?

/profil

i try do this in this way:

.*/profil.*

But my software dont match any results in text.

Answer 1

All you need is this

@"(\/profil)"

if all you need is to match "/profil" then there is no need for the ".*"

Answer 2

Remember the expressions are greedy .

The . matches any character, and * tells it that this . can go on forever. So this expression will eat up all of your input, leaving nothing for the /profil part.

It seems like you're trying to put a wildcard around /profil . This is not needed with regular expressions. You should just be able to use /profil as the full expression and match your string.
