PHP正则表达式匹配排除了几个网址

Question

I have a trouble with urls match! For example: we have urls(strings): /, /news, /news/1-addsf, /articles, /guides etc.

and task: get match of all, excepts all starts with "/news" (with or w/o continue "/1-addsf", need both regexp's) AND "/articles" AND "/"

i try smth, like this:

#([^\/news.*]|[^\/articles])#is
#\/[^(news.*|articles)]#is
#^\/(^news|^articles)#is

and manymanymany other variants

i think, that i doesn't know smth or am bad googler, but i can't find smth for this question.

Need worked regexp! Thanks!

p.s. sorry for my english.

Answer 1

Seems like you want something like,

#^/(?!news|articles).*#is

The above regex matches all the url strings except the ones which starts with /news or /articles
