Question

I’ve never been good with regex syntax, can someone help me out to to check if a URL matches a specific structure in my example?

The .* can be anything including /-_# etc, the 0-9 would be any number length (ex 1993334).

var pattern = new RegExp('/articles/[0-9]/[.*]');
if (pattern.test(document.location.href)) {
    // match found
}

Answer 1

Try this:

\/articles\/[0-9]+\/.*

So, escape the slashes, and use + to specify there has to be “one or more” of the preceding element.
