title: Match zero or more occurrence of string Regex
body: <p>I am trying to match some pattern, reference this <a href="https://pythex.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">online tool</a> for easy test</p>
  
  <pre><code>pattern = r"(^/\w+)\s*?(\w+)"
  string_1 = "/path_one path_two"
  string_2 = "/path_one_only"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>While string_1 matches as expected by returning both parts, for string_2 it cuts the last character of part one. But I would like the pattern to always return both parts, rather return None/empty string if path two does not exist</p>
