Slashes in routes - El Forum - 09-07-2008

Is it possible to do slashes inside a regex match? I want to match

Code:
/controller/display/path/to/something

And then have that go into my display function with the string "path/to/something"

I tried this in my routes file, but didn't have any luck.

Code:
$route['controller/([A-Z0-9/])'] = 'controller/display/$1';

To do slashes inside regex, prepend the slash like this

Code:
\/controller\/display\/path\/to\/something
