Regular Expression Details

Title Test Find URL Segments
Expression
(?:[a-zA-Z0-9]+(?:(?:_|\-|\.)[a-zA-Z0-9]+)*)
Description
This is an expression I sometimes use to verify segments in a URL or directory path. It must begin and end with a word character and may contain "_" "-" and "." one at a time. It's non-capturing as it sits. More restrictive than RFC2396 and used to prevent directory transversal holes.
Matches
abc-123 | abc.def.ghi | my_path
Non-Matches
_abc | abc..123 | -my_path
