ruby-regex: how to match for "/table[number]" ?

Question

i want to match for all "/table[number]"

so strings like "/table[1]" and "/table" are matched.

Answer 1

/\/table(?:\[\d+\])?/

Answer 2

Depending upon your needs, you may want to throw in word boundary markers as well. So

 /\b\/table(?:\[\d+\])?\b/

Without these the regex would match strings like
/tables
/tableTop
.....
