Exclude Character in Google Analytics via Regex

Question

I'm trying to exclude (in a Goal) a character in a regex in Google Analytics.

Basically, I have two pages with the following URL:

/signup/done/b
/signup/done/bp

Note that both might have UTM parameters after in some results as well

I am trying to measure only /done/b

The Regex I had was the following, but it includes both strings:

(/signup/done/plan/b)

When I changed it (and verified it in an external regex tester) I got 0 results, so the /b/ was also not included.

(/signup/done/plan/b[^p])

Thanks. Technically there's an unlimited possibility as there might be UTM codes at the end. — avi, Feb 12 '17 at 11:05

This regex would handle the case where the URL ends with /b or if there are query parameters:

/signup/done/b($|\?.*)

So examples of converting URLs would be:

/signup/done/b
/signup/done/b?utm_campaign=test&utm_medium=display
/signup/done/b?query=value

Examples of non-converting URLs would be:

/signup/done/bd
/signup/done/b/something
