i would like to get

847F56B42427DCCD3CB311F905BBEF2097F3AA5F

from

"ImageURL": "http://cloud-3.steamusercontent.com/ugc/929312733724516985/847F56B42427DCCD3CB311F905BBEF2097F3AA5F/",

i allready found the regex for this

(?<=\/ugc\/.*?\/)(.*.)(?=(\/"))

But Java doesn't accept the "*" in the lookbehind and i struggle to find another solution. The url is always the same, only the numbers after ".../ugc/" are changing.

If that's JSON, you should parse the JSON first instead – CertainPerformance Dec 27 '20 at 22:02
No need of a lookbehind, use a capturing group and acess it upon a valid match (something like `matcher.group(1)`). – Wiktor Stribiżew Dec 27 '20 at 22:04
A good idea! At the moment i solved it with a bigger regex and then split the match by "/", will try the capturing group – Garog Dec 27 '20 at 22:21

*Unrelated:* You do know that `.*.` is a weird way of writing `.+`, right? – Andreas Dec 27 '20 at 23:55
