How can I repeat my pattern with a minor change?

Question

Here is my pattern, \/\d+$. It matches the slash and number which is in the end of string. Now I want to expand it and making it working for a sequence of them.

Here is the input:

ticket/2/1/19

And here is the current result:

ticket/2/1

And this is the expected result:

ticket

How can I do that?

Is `ticket` really the expected (desired) result? Or is it `/2/1/19`? — SamWhan, Apr 09 '18 at 07:18
Yes @ClasG, I want to strip that string from all `/` which are at the end of it. — Martin AJ, Apr 09 '18 at 07:19
OK, I see. The "strip" part wasn't mentioned in the question though ;) — SamWhan, Apr 09 '18 at 08:58

You may wrap \/\d+ with a grouping construct and quantify the group:

(?:\/\d+)+$

See the regex demo

Details

(?: - start of a non-capturing group
- \/ - a /
- \d+ - 1+ digits
)+ - end of the group, repeated 1 or more times (+)
$ - end of string.
