hi I have strings that contain the url of an yahoo group and it may appear in any of the following patterns: I need a regex that can always capture the "batmaras" (I can't guess that part, I need to extract it using regex) and give me a result as follows: it.groups.yahoo.com/group/batmaras I want to remove anything after the "batmaras" part. this is what I tried and is not working for me: (it\.groups\.yahoo\.com\/group\/.*?)\/?
