javascript regular expression to match url

I am trying to match a URL that starts with /user/ and ends with any number and slash.

example: 

/user/345/

I tried /user/\d{3}, but the interpreter gives me an error at \d.

if (request.url == '/') {
    absPath = './public/index.html';
    serveStatic(response, cache, absPath);
} else if (request.url.match(/user/\d{3})) {}

any suggestions?

Let's make trailing slash optional:

/\/user\/\d{3}\/?/

or

/\/user\/[0-9]{3}\/?/

Try this:

var str = "/user/345/";
alert(str.match(/\/user\/\d+\//g) != null);

without the last slash:

alert(str.match(/\/user\/\d+/g) != null);

You're missing a backslash

request.url.match("/user/\\d{3}")
