Regular expression - check for optional ' /' in sthe string

I have this regular expresion

/\[found:([a-zA-Z0-9-_: |=\.]+)]/

that checks if my string contains things like this for example:

[found:user id=1|class=admin]

However there are some cases where my pattern may look like this:

[found:user id=1|class=admin /]

so basicly it has an optional ' /' at the end. How can I put this in my regex?

This should do the trick:

/\[found:([a-zA-Z0-9-_: |=\.]+)(\s*\/)?]/

If the space isn't optional then use \s instead of \s* or \s+ for at least one space.
