I thought I have already explained it. Here it goes again. Demo page is: http://dbfiddle.uk/?rdbms=postgres_9.6&fiddle=ea61e7e1859bdb7f297f853a9dc0e3d0

Now that you've posted the right link it becomes a bit easier to follow...

 

To summarize: I wanna use a pattern matching the only returns these rows:

/testfile/client/10/attachment/1000/master/
/testfile/client/10/attachment/unassigned/file/1001/master
/testfile/client/10/attachment/unassigned/file/1002/master

Why isn't 7 valid?

Requiring that the last directory be the word master, with or without a forward slash, is simple enough but 7 matches that.  Just tack the following onto the end of your existing pattern.

.+master/?$

You'll need to be more verbose and literal if you truly want to exclude 7.  Just add more path separators and patterns like [^/]+ until you get what you want.

I'd be more helpful but my iPad and the fiddle don't seem to play nicely together...
