I would like to trim a list of urls to first folder 

for example:
url.com/folder1/xxx/index.html
url.com/folder2/
url.com/folder3/xxx/yyyy/index.html
url.com/folder4/zzz/aaa/bbb/index.html

Output should look like this:
url.com/folder1/
url.com/folder2/
url.com/folder3/
url.com/folder4/

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

  • What have you tried so far? You don't provide any details about _how_ this should be done, where the Output should go etc,. Your question is tagged [regex[ and [notepad++] but other than that we have no context for your problem. – Aiken Feb 19 '15 at 10:13
  • i tried doing it in scrapebox but it only trims to last folder not first.I have no experience with notepad++ or regex ,searched on google with no luck. – ciprian Feb 19 '15 at 10:49

Find what:

^([^/]*/[^/]*/).*

OR

Escape the forward slashes if necessary.

^([^\/]*\/[^\/]*\/).*

Replace with:

\1

Find: ^.*?\/.*?\/\K.*$

Try this.Replace by empty string.See demo.

\K resets the starting point of the reported match. Any previously consumed characters are no longer included in the final match
