PCRE Pattern match to URL

I'm trying to configure a website plugin and need to set a PCRE url pattern for certain pages on my site.

I exclude certain pages using the following patterns successfully. 

^/wp-admin/
^/wp-login.php
^/content/

However I also need to exclude pages which are in the following patterns

www.site.com/post_id/post_name/feed/
e.g. www.site.com/345345/myawesomepost/feed/

Where the only static component of the url is /feed/ Would anyone know how to do this using PCRE expressions..?

To exclude urls like this

Format:  www.site.com/post_id/post_name/feed/
Example: www.site.com/345345/myawesomepost/feed/

you might consider the following regular expression:

^(?:\w+\.)+\w+/[0-9]+/\w+/feed/$

This is what I would use:

/www.+\/feed\//gi

will match:

www.site.com/post_id/post_name/feed/
www.site.com/345345/myawesomepost/feed/

If the urls contain 'http://', you should alter the pattern to:

/http.+\/feed\//gi

The 'i' at the end can be left out if you are sure 'feed' will never contain capital letters.

Domething like this should match

^/.+/feed/

It just matches every url that ends with /feed/
