string parsing not working with regex in java

Question

I have been trying to get this right for awhile with no success and would appreciate some help here. Trying to parse out from the string below:

LethalWeaponFOX/photos/a.1106081639452035.1073741828.1048614701865396/1234456789011112/?type=3

The part I would like to to remove is last two forward slashes:

1234456789011112

pUrl = pUrl.replaceAll("photos\\/.*\\.","");

Appreciate suggestions:

EDIT: Sorry I needed to clarify my output and rephrase question

You'll have to split it in this case.

    String[] temp = pUrl.split("\\/");
    pUrl = temp[temp.length - 1];

Or replaceFirst().

thanks; but I think I needed to rephrase the question. I need the value between the last two forward slashes

I just need the values between the last 2 forward slashes 1234456789011112

In this case you can use this regex .*\/([^\/]*)\/[^\/]*$ with String#replaceAll :

String str = "LethalWea...";
str = str.replaceAll(".*\\/([^\\/]*)\\/[^\\/]*$", "$1");
