Notepad ++ Regex replace

Question

I want to convert

http://website.com/cat/movie/nameofmovie.html

to this

http://website.com/cat/movie

So I have tried [/].*(html) But this applied from first / char, Is there any way to specify 5th / in the line? Is there any method to inverse replace?

Do you specifically want to remove the everything after the 5th / or the last part of the link? — Jerry

If you want to specifically remove everything after the 5th / and removing this 5th slash, you can use:

((?:[^/]*/[^/]*){4})/.*html

And replace with $1.

If you want to remove the last part of the link with the last slash, you can use:

/[^/]+html

And here since you don't have any capturing group, leave the replace with box blank.

Try to replace directly /\w+\.html with nothing.

You can replace /[^/]+(\s+|$) with nothing. If you have to filter with hmtl files, just add the extension like this: /[^/]+\.html(\s+|$).
