Regex Exclude Part Of String On Capture C#

I am trying to do a url rewrite but can't capture the correct action for two scenarios. The first is if the action is "scheduletable", only capture "schedule" in "action", otherwise capture the whole thing "pools". My regex keeps including the "table" in the "action"

^/events/(?<action>.*)(?table)?/(?<eventid>\d*).*$

The original URL

/events/scheduletable/39?layout=time&type=all
/events/pools/39

Consider the following Regex...

(?<=events/).*?(?=(table|/))

Good Luck!

You had a ? in the wrong place. (?table) doesn't make sense, and your * on action needs to be non-greedy (.*? instead of .*). Try this;

^/events/(?<action>.*?)(table)?/(?<eventid>\d*).*$

Use:

^/events/(?<action>.*?)(?:table)?/(?<eventid>\d*).*$

And use $1 and $2 in the replacement - or your group names even.
