REGEX help

[zimu]

hey guys,

I'm a complete n00b with regex and was hoping someone could help me out.

I'm trying to build a regex that finds the string "login" anywhere in a URL. not just login, but also login_page, so it'd be more of a "find */login* sort of deal, i.e. finds login / login_page anywhere in the url under any folder i'm presently in...

any ideas?

thanks!

The actual REGEX verbiage will vary with language, what are you working with?

 

[veri745]

Do you mean you want to match URLs than contain login|login_page, or that you just want to find those strings within the URLs?

The second would be something like 'login(_page)?' depending on the language. If you want to match the entire URL, you'd need to know what the format of various URLs is.

This is the most useful regex testing website I've found: http://www.myregextester.com/

veri745 is correct, the regex login(_page)? will find either login or login_page
