Regex to match exact path with two /

I am trying to match below path with a regex.

# test-site could be anything like "shoe-site", "best-clock", etc.
/content/test-site

The current regex rule (\/content\/{1}\S+) would have been adequate.

The problem is it is matching the entire path such as /content/test-site/en_US/abc.html.

I need it to match only /content/test-site.

Example of path to be matched:

https://localhost:4502/content/test-site/en_US/book/city/sample-rooms/airport-inn/propertyCode.00000.html

Regex I've tried by far;

(\/content\/[a-z-]+)\/[a-z]{2}_[A-Z]{2}\/book(ing-path)?\/(sample-|sample-details)(.*).[0-9]{5}.*

/content/test-site is optional- it might not present sometimes in url.

What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?

You can use negated character class

^(?:[^\/]*\/){2}[^\/]*

enter image description here

const path = '/content/test-site/en_US/abc.html';

const desired = path.match(/^(?:[^\/]*\/){2}[^\/]*/)

console.log(desired[0])

Regex to match any character expect /:

content\/[^\/]+

This is character classes. A character class beginning with caret will match anything not in the class. More about this.

So, with javascript:

const url = '/content/test-site/en_US/abc.html';

const path = url.match(/content\/[^\/]+/)

console.log(path[0])

Here is another approach:

(?:\/[a-zA-Z0-9-]+){2}

Regex Demo

Explanation:

(?:                 # Non-capturing group
\/[a-zA-Z0-9-]+     # Match starting with / and followed with characters/digits/-
)                   # Close grouping
{2}                 # Match two times, i.e. only match with two /
