Hi there,

I am completely new with this topic. I would need help with the following regex:

From URLs like this, I would need to filter only the Urls that include the Brand "youtube"

/google+redesign/apparel/mens/quickview/
/google+redesign/shop+by+brand/youtube
/google+redesign/shop+by+brand/youtube/quickview
etc.

I tried this:
\/google+redesign\/shop+by+brand\/.*youtube but it doesnt work. :/

Also I need help with this:
"Keywords that include more than two words separated by blank spaces, eg. should not include "youtube merchandise" because it only has 2 words, but it should include "google merchandise store" or "google store mountain view" because they have more than 2 words."

So I added the filter \s{2}, which also doesnt work. I really have no clue..

Can somebody please enlighten me?

What I have tried:

\s{2}

\/google+redesign\/shop+by+brand\/.*youtube

Thank you Richard, I came across this tool, but it really is just second guessing. I would need a hint.

The + characters are control characters in regex so need to be escaped in order to find a match. So something like /shop\+by\+brand/g etc. You can try different examples on the regexr page. Just paste your URLs into the text field and create and modify the regex until you find one that works.
