I have strings which look like this:
/xxxxx/xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-338200.html
With my regex:
(?<=-)(\d+)(?=\.html)
It matches just the numbers before .html.
Is it possible to write a regex that matches everything that surrounds the numbers (matches the .html part and the part before the numbers)?
In your current pattern you already use a capturing group. In that case you might also match what comes before and after instead of using the lookarounds
-(\d+)\.html
To get what comes before and after the digits, you could use 2 capturing groups:
^(.*-)\d+(\.html)$
In the replacement use the 2 groups.
This should do the job:
.*-\d+\.html
Explanation: .* will match anything until -\d+ say it should match a - followed by a sequence of digits before a \.html (where \. represents the character .).
To capture groups, just do (.*-)(\d+)(\.html). This will put everything before the number in a group, the number in another group and everything after the number in another group.
