    try regex:

    /category/(.*)
    

    In regex . is the wildcard and * is a “0 or more” qualifier. Therefore, Matching 0 or more (*) characters (.) after the forward slash should be expressed as .*

    replacement:

    /experiment/$1
    

    $0 is a “pseudo group” that holds the entire match, i.e. “/category/…”. You need to use parentheses to define other groups so that you can reference these groups in the replacement pattern, hence the (.*) part in the regex.
