    If I insist on using match_regex,

     

    $uri match_regex "^/cjj?cjj2"

     

    does it work?

    Sure if you put a \ in front of the ? otherwise it represents any non-whitespace character. Its worth noting that any regex matching is significantly slower that's why there are many alternatives.
