Regex in Notepad++ : How to get last part of URLs?

Question

I have some URL like this:

http://www.mywebsite.com/at/hello-everybody-mn0000000003
http://www.mywebsite.com/am/I-dont-care-mw0000322930
http://www.mywebsite.com/ccc/mood/I-love-you-d5207

How to get the last part which removed the last word?

hello-everybody
I-dont-care
I-love-you

@Raptor, I don't know about regex. I only know ^.*\/ to match from beginning to "/" — user4383842, Dec 22 '14 at 02:30
`http://www.mywebsite.com/.*/(.+)-\S+$` - part in parentheses is what you need — vladkras, Dec 22 '14 at 02:52
@fred-ii-, this is not a duplicate of that question. This has nothing to do with PHP. — Ian Hazzard, Dec 22 '14 at 02:53
@Godisgood OP wasn't responding to any of my (now deleted) comments. Communication is good too ;) reopened. OP did originally tag as php. — Funk Forty Niner, Dec 22 '14 at 02:55

You could use the below lookahead based regex.

[^\/]+?(?=-[^-\/]+$)

Hi, How to extract them ? – user4383842 Dec 22 '14 at 03:25
use this `.*?([^\/]+?)-[^-\/]+$` regex and then replace the matched chars by `\1` see https://regex101.com/r/gX3sD2/4 – Avinash Raj Dec 22 '14 at 03:27

hope it can help you!

$str = 'http://www.mywebsite.com/at/hello-everybody-mn0000000003';
$str = preg_replace('@http://www.mywebsite.com/(.*)/@','',$str);
$str = substr($str,0,strrpos($str,'-'));

Sorry, this is not PHP. I removed PHP tag. – user4383842 Dec 22 '14 at 02:46

Unfortunately, this is the furthest I can get you:

(?!\/)(?:.(?!\/))+(?=-)

This is what it would match:

http://www.mywebsite.com/at/hello-everybody-mn0000000003   Matches: hello-everybody
http://www.mywebsite.com/am/I-dont-care-mw0000322930       Matches: I-dont-care
http://www.mywebsite.com/ccc/mood/I-love-you-d5207         Matches: I-love-you

This is even simpler: `/[\w-]+(?=-)/`. – Ian Hazzard Dec 22 '14 at 02:52
Oh? Why didn't you post an answer then? Lol. – Dec 22 '14 at 02:53
Because this question is closed and I can't, duh. – Ian Hazzard Dec 22 '14 at 02:55

Try this RegEx: /[\w-]+(?=-)/.
