JavaScript: Regex match this string

Question

I need to check using regex that a string matches this format:

http://site.com/users/1

e.g. a matching string is http://stackoverflow.com/users/587532 and http://stackoverflow.com/users/587532/umar should be not matching.

but I don't know the regex code to do this.

http://([^/]+)/users/(\d+)

The first capture group gives you the site's name, the second gives you the user number.

If you need to escape the / characters, just use \/:

http:\/\/([^\/]+)\/users\/(\d+)

I would add a ^ and $ to make sure you don't match a partial (your regex still matches the case where the '/umar' is behind the url, it just doens't include it in it's match.

@umar, the $ at the end of the regex makes the /g modifier superfluous.
