Regex does a greedy match by default. This means that the matchmaking will be as long as possible. Check out the example below. It refers to any match that ends in r and can be any character preceded by it. But it does not stop at the first letter r
ber beer beeer beeeer /.*r/ ber beer beeer beeeer
Lazy matchmaking stops at the first matching. Add a ? after * to find the first match that is preceded by any character.
ber beer beeer beeeer /.*?r/ ber
