Regex for specific URL path

Question

Im trying to match a URL's path (window.location.pathname) but exclude anything further down the path.

I want to match the following:

Examples

/admin/sites/123 - true

/admin/sites/1 - false

/admin/sites/123/foo - false

I've got as far as the following regex but can't seem to figure out the rest.

/admin\/sites\/[0-9]/.test(window.location.pathname)

/^\/admin\/sites\/\d{2,6}$/

the $ anchors the expression to the end of the string so it must end with the digits.

I also included the ^ so it must start with /admin.

If you want to match up to the / after the digits, you need the following regex:

^\/admin\/sites\/[0-9]{2,6}(?=\/)
