How to check if a string ends with only a specific value using REGEX

Question

I am trying to find if a particular string ends with only a specific word and no words are after that

strings i subjecting to searching:

1.) https://beta-qa.pearson.com/iie-api/courses/5daa3022e4b0ef7dce37acec/assignments

2.) https://beta-qa.pearson.com/iie-api/courses/5daa3022e4b0ef7dce37acec/assignments/984fa00d-d002-4826-80f4-76d1267e3aaa

What I want is to only get the string that ends with assignment (i.e. the first string from the above two examples)

This is the regexes I was using: *\[assignments]$, \assignments/$

This is not working this gives both results. How can I only filter the string that ends with assignments?

Can someone please help me?

@Biffen: Thank you, what if I need to to show only results that ends in the pattern `"/assignments/some-id-number"` what would be the regex? `some-id-number` is a number. — Jananath Banuka, Nov 14 '19 at 13:44

The correct regexp for this is assignments$. It probably didn't work for you because you mixed / and \ in your last regex.

UPD: See an example on regex101.com

then it would be `assignments/\d+$` – Pavel Lint Nov 14 '19 at 13:44
What if to search a pattern like this? `/assignments/984fa00d-d002-4826-80f4-76d1267e3aa` that value after assignments is a combination of `numbers`, `characters` and a special `symbol`? – Jananath Banuka Nov 14 '19 at 13:55
then it would be `assignments/[a-fA-F0-9-]+$` – Pavel Lint Nov 14 '19 at 13:56
