Problem to add trailing slash if I have two or more subdirectories

rewrite ^/([^.]\*[^/])$ $1/ permanent; //this is working example if I  
have one directory

[http://example.com/foo/](http://example.com/foo/) (with trailing slash, conventionally a  
directory)  
[http://example.com/foo](http://example.com/foo) (without trailing slash, conventionally a file)

How can add trailing slash if I have two or more subdirectories ?

[http://example.com/foo/foo2/](http://example.com/foo/foo2/)  
[http://example.com/foo/foo2](http://example.com/foo/foo2)

```
location ~ [^/]+/[^/]+$ {
    return 301 $uri/;
}

```

Or this:

location ~ \[1\]+[^/]$ { return 301 $uri/$is\_args$args; }
