Java: correct regex expression for dealing with the following string?

String someXpath = "/a/b/c[3]/preceding-sibling::c[3]/a[2]";
someXpath.replaceAll("/preceding\\-sibling::(.*)\\//", ""));

basically I am trying to get "/a/b/c[3]/a[2]";

This will remove everything up to the next /.

someXpath.replaceAll("/preceding-sibling::[^/]*","")
