Assuming that you want the only text before the word, which is before the last hyphen of the url, try this regex

tell me if its okay for you...

CodePudding user response：

You could try pattern:

^https:\/\/[^\/] \/(?:[^-] -){5}

Pattern explanation:

^ - match beginning of the string

https:\/\/ - match https:// literally

[^\/] - match one or more character other than /

\/ - match / literally

(?:...) - non-capturing group

[^-] - - match one or more of other character than - and then match - literally

{5} - match preceeding pattern 5 times
