RegExp to match anyname/anynamewithid/date/string

Question

I want to write a regular expression to match the given pattern

anyname/anyname2/anydate/string

anyname: It must accept valid names including underscore (_)

anyname2: It must accept valid names including underscore(_) or hiffen (-)

anydate: The date must be in the format like 'yyyy-mm-dd'. Ex: 2016-12-10

string: This string contains predefined strings. it needs to match only the required characters like, [computer],[desktop],[laptop]. Other than these 3, it should not match any other.

Note: The expression must also match '/' as in the above mentioned pattern

Which part of it are you having trouble with? What is a "valid name"? — Steven Doggart, Dec 10 '16 at 01:52
What means "valid names" and what means characters like "[computer]"? Computer is not a character. — martin.macko.47, Dec 10 '16 at 01:52
computer is at string. I have some limited strings, which need to match in that exp — Arjun Kesava, Dec 10 '16 at 01:55
"valid names" means example: dhruva/jagadamba_junction Rules are it should not contain any special characters except _ — Arjun Kesava, Dec 10 '16 at 01:57
Some examples of inputs which should pass and should fail would be helpful. If you could describe which part you are having trouble with and what you have already tried, that would be helpful too. — Steven Doggart, Dec 10 '16 at 01:59

Your requirements aren't terribly clear, but if I understand them correctly, then something like the following should work:

\w+/[\w\-]+/\d{4}-[01]\d-[0-3]\d/(computer|desktop|laptop)
