Nginx Location matching regex

Question

Guys please help me to cover all the tm*.html pages in my location math

location /tacticalsales/tm(.*).html$ { }

Cannot get the wildcard to work. Please also add some explanation on this or refer to documenation. Thanks

Also please help with ading regex for numbers only.. somehting like this [1-10] instead of (.*) should work?

Well This one is good location ~ "^/tacticalsales/tm([1-9]|10).html$" But I need to cover also the pages like tm5hjdf.html or tm6c.html — alex nadtoka

It's not 100% clear what you're asking for (this might be down to me), but I've tried to answer as best as possible

^((tacticalsales\/)?tm([0-9]|10).*?\.html)$

This will match on the three examples that you have given (tm5hjdf.html & tm6c.html) as well as if they're prefixed with tacticalsales/.

Hope this helps!
