Removing url params using regex -

i have problem removing params url starting on ":". have example path like:

/foo/:some_id/bar/:id 

i archive following result:

/foo/bar 

i tried create regex. figured out this:

\/:.*?\/ 

but 1 removes :some_id still leaves :id part. can tell me how can modify regex remove params?

your regex requires / present @ end. cannot remove / regex since .*? won't match then. use negated character class:

\/:[^\/]+ 

see regex demo

pattern details:

• \/: - matches literal /:
• [^\/]+ - matches 1+ characters other / [^...] defines negated character class matching characters defined in class.
