Regex for simplifying Amazon product URLs
Amazon product URLs are often very long, but on experimentation it is revealed that the following pattern is sufficient:
```
https://www.amazon.com/{dp|gp}/$ID
```
`ID` is a 10-char string, which I'm guessing is the ASIN. I want to parse out the long URLs into the minimal form. What exactly is the regex for identifying the ID?
