Disallow URLs ENDING with certain values in robots.txt?

[jmorehouse]

Is there any way to disallow URLs ending in a certain value? For example, if I have the following product page URL: http://website.com/category/product1, and I want to disallow /category/product1/review, /category/product2/review, etc. without disallowing the product pages themselves, is there any shortcut to do this, or must I disallow each gallery page individually?

Thanks, Andy! I just tested with Webmaster tool's tester, and it worked.

So you just want to disallow the /review/ element?

*Disallow: /review/

I am pretty sure the wildcard will work.

I would use the Robots.txt tester in Webmaster tools to try it out first before committing to any changes. This will tell you if it works and if so, if it's blocked successfully.

You then try the URL without the /review/ element on and make sure it passes.
