im trying to use this code right here to crawl for some links
/example\.com\/(.*)/
but the problem is it is leaving out the "/" after .com. lets say the link format for example is example.com/435345/details.html

the code works fine and will grab that link but it grabs it as example.com435345/details.html
so what am i missing or doing wrong to make the "/" not be there?
can anyone help with this? Thanks


----------------
nevermind i fixed it. the proper way was. /example\.com(\/.*)/

I am wondering if the slash needs to be escaped...

the code works fine

Obviously it doesn't work fine.

so what am i missing or doing wrong

Giving us the faintest idea what your code looks like?

for some reason it did not post my format correctly. you can see it is correct on a quote and reply. I do have the slash escaped.
/example\.com\/(.*)/
