Regex does not match for exact pattern

I would like to match only the following pattern:

/a
/b
/c

and others should return false:

/a/foo
/bX
/c23

etc.

For this I have the following code:

QRegExp navigation("^/(a|b|c)\b");

However navigation.indexIn(str) returns -1

How should I modify the code so that this returns a positive value?

Have you already tried:

^/(a|b|c)$

With this regex engine you need to change it to:

/^\/(a|b|c)$/gm

As Spidey wrote also this works:

/^\/[abc]$/gm

Not really sure nut I think you have to double escape the word boundary:

QRegExp navigation("^/(a|b|c)\\b");
