. means every character * means zero, one or more instances of the previous character. ^ means beginning of the line (or negation in some situations) $ means end of line The part of the regexp between the brackets will be returned as $1
So the first regexp ^(.*\/perl\/.*)$ says: - If a line starts (^) with zero, one or more instances of any character - followed by /perl/ (the slashes are backslashed because it are special characters) - followed by zero, one or more instances of any character result ==> the whole line without any end-of-line characters, if it contains /perl/, Nothing if it doesn't contain /perl/ So a wild guess for the string you want to write: ^\/perl\/dl.pl(\/.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8200/perl/dl.pl$1 But I guess the regexp you wrote first will work to !
