I'm setting up some goals in Google Analytics and could use a little regex help.
Lets say I have 4 URLs
http://www.anydotcom.com/test/search.cfm?metric=blah&selector=size&value=1
http://www.anydotcom.com/test/search.cfm?metric=blah2&selector=style&value=1
http://www.anydotcom.com/test/search.cfm?metric=blah3&selector=size&value=1
http://www.anydotcom.com/test/details.cfm?metric=blah&selector=size&value=1
I want to create an expression that will identify any URL that contains the string selector=size but does NOT contain details.cfm
I know that to find a string that does NOT contain another string I can use this expression:
(^((?!details.cfm).)*$)
But, I'm not sure how to add in the selector=size portion.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
This should do it:
^(?!.*details\.cfm).*selector=size.*$
^.*selector=size.*$
should be clear enough. The first bit, (?!.*details.cfm)
is a negative look-ahead: before matching the string it checks the string does not contain "details.cfm" (with any number of characters before it).
