Using this pattern (\/.*?\/) will get a partial match, but it would also match // as the quantifier is optional. Note that you also don't need the capture group.

Using this pattern (\/.*?)(?!\/{2,}) captures a single / followed by as least as possible chars asserting not 2 or more / at the right.

You can match the whole line using anchors and match at least a single char other than / in between using a negated character class [^\/]+

^\/[^\/]+\/$
