Question

From the two urls

I want to extract the String 829684271812067328 in Java. My attempt was

\\/status\\/([\\d]+)

but this does not allow anything before /status or after the digits (/).

Whats the solution to this?

You might want to show us how you're applying that regex on the input. Besides that `/status/(\d+)` should be sufficient (in Java strings you'd need to escape the backslashes of course). — Thomas, Feb 09 '17 at 13:44
this part you want to get can contain another character or just numbers? — Youcef LAIDANI, Feb 09 '17 at 13:56

If you just need to extract data (rather than validate the url format), I'd use the following regex :

(\\d+)/?$

And extract the first group of the result.

It matches a non-empty sequence of digits that can be followed by a / and must be found at the end of the matched text.
