I'd like to put together REGEX for the string:

/maps/basic/5/16/12.png?key=xxx

What I am trying to achieve here is, that my condition will be TRUE IF the string (URI) will contain 3 numbers after 2 words:

/word/word/number/number/number*

You can use the following pattern:

^(\/[a-zA-Z] \/[a-zA-Z] \/[0-9] \/[0-9] \/[0-9] )(\S.*)$

The result of your example would be:

1. Group 1 match: /maps/basic/5/16/12
2. Group 2 match, the rest of the string: .png?key=xxx

Try this:

^\/[a-zA-Z] \/[a-zA-Z] \/\d \/\d \/\d .*


^                 mathes the beginning of the string
\/[a-zA-Z]        matches the first word
\/[a-zA-Z]        matches the second word
\/\d \/\d \/\d    matches the three numbers
.*                matches anything after the numbers

This matches the url only if it begins with two words and is followed by three (or more ) words with anything after that.
