Regex Match Any Subdirectory

Question

Forgive my title not being more exact...I need a (simple?) Regex (which I'm awful at) to match the following

/Parent/AnySubDirectory/Child/

Parent and Child are always Parent and Child. Any subdirectory could have any name:

/Parent/Sub1/Child/
/Parent/Sub2/Child/

Everything I research is more complicated than necessary.

In which regex flavor/language are you planning to use this? — Tim Pietzcker, Aug 24 '12 at 19:38
The Regex pattern is needed (over another type of solution) as the third party module requiring it in DNN (URL Master) only accepts RegEx patterns to exclude/include directories in processing. Other examples were not provided as they did not work. — roadsunknown, Aug 24 '12 at 20:26

/Parent/[^/]+/Child/

should work.

[^/]+ means "One or more characters except slashes".
