Regex in Google Analytics for segment creation

I'm trying to trap URLs of the following structure:

/resources/state-name/city-name

given that there are URLs of the following type

/resources/other-words

/resources/state-name

/resources/state-name/city-name/other-words

I have tried to trap using include/matches regex:

\/resources\/.*\/.*

exclude/matches regex: 

\/resources\/.*\/.*\/.*

but this is allowing the other-words and state-name only to slip through.

Try this regex \/resources\/[^\/\r\n]*(?:$|(?:\/.*\/.*$)). I assumed the end of the url was also the end of the line. This matches all of them but /resources/state-name/city-name

To only get /resources/state-name/city-name, then use this one \/resources\/[^\/\r\n]*\/[^\/\r\n]*$.

Something like this /(\/resources\/)([\w+%-]+)\/([\w+%-]+)/g

With this [\w-%] you match any letter, number, - and % in the URL (i put % because in the URLs spaces are replaced with - or + or %20)

Also, with the () you can access each member with $1 to $3
