I have a list of URIs and one parameter $path.
I want to match URIs based on that $path. I want to get all files in $path + all index files from subdirectories but ONLY for the first child. So I don’t wanna get all index files from all subdirectories.
Example: $path = /root
/root/index.shtml - MATCH ME (because file is in $path)
/root/root_one.shtml - MATCH ME (because file is in $path)
/root/one/index.shtml - MATCH ME (because im an index-child)
/root/two/index.shtml - MATCH ME (because im an index-child)
/root/two/test.shtml - DONT MATCH ME
/root/two/three/index.shtml - DONT MATCH ME
/root/2024/index.shtml - MATCH ME (because im an index-child)
/root/2024/one.shtml - DONT MATCH ME
At least based on my knowledge, I think I have to use two regex to match everything.
Match all files within directory: \/root\/(\w+)\.shtml
Match all index.shtml on first childs: \/root\/(\w+)\/{1}index\.shtml
Is there a way to match both in one regex?
Best regards.
Update: I think just when updating, i found a solution: \/root\/(\w+)(\/{1}index\.shtml|\.shtml)
>Solution :
You may use a single regex like this to match all the cases:
^\/root\/[^\/]+(?:\/index\.shtml)?$
RegEx Demo:
^: Start\/root\/: Match/root/[^\/]+: Match 1+ of any character that is not/(?:\/index\.shtml)?: Match/index.shtmloptionally$: End
