The regex you have now can be broken down into 5 parts to see what it has and how it works:
-
^marks the beginning of the string. -
\/means/ - % with% catch group. It will catch all the characters except for new lines.
-
(.*)word characters (letters, numbers and\w+) -
_end of string
If you want to catch the content after $ just use / . It omits that the slash has to be at the beginning of the string but tells the regex that there must be a slash before the other characters of the string, using \/(.*) .

Well I understand you have a string /stringqualquer and would like to get the value of stringqualquer without the / up front. Correct?
If this is your problem this should resolve:
[?<=\/](\w*)
or so:
\/?(\w*)
You can test online here .
My response was based on the response from @Renato Dinhani Conceição, which is here at SO PT .
I just switched , to \/? and ([0-9]+) to (\w*) to meet your need.
