I'm trying to create a custom filter in Google Analytic to remove the query parts of the url which I don't want to see. The url has the following structure
[domain]/?p=899:2000:15018702722302::NO:::
I would like to create a regex which skips the first 12 characters (that is until:/?p=899:2000), and what ever is going to be after that replace it with nothing.
So I made this one: https://regex101.com/r/Xgbfqz/1 (which could be simplified to .{0,12}) , but I actually would like to skip those and only let the regex match whatever is going to be after that, so that I'll be able to tell in Google Analytics to replace it with "".
The part in the url that is always the same is
?p=[3numbers]:[0-4numbers]
Thank you
Your regular expression:
\/\?p=\d{3}\:\d{0,4}(.*)
Tested in Golang RegEx 2 and RegEx101
It search for /p=###:[optional:####] and capture the rest of the right side string.
(extra) JavaScript:
paragraf='[domain]/?p=899:2000:15018702722302::NO:::'
var regex= /\/\?p=\d{3}\:\d{0,4}(.*)/;
var match = regex.exec(paragraf);
alert('The rest of the right side of the string: ' + match[1]);
Easily use "[domain]/?p=899:2000:15018702722302::NO:::".substr(12)
You can try this:
/\?p\=\d{3}:\d{0,4}
Which matches just this: ?p=[3numbers]:[0-4numbers]
Not sure about replacing though.

I have file names in a URL and want to strip out the preceding URL and filepath as well as the version that appears after the ?
Sample URL
Trying to use RegEx to pull, CaptialForecasting_Datasheet.pdf
The REGEXP_EXTRACT in Google Data Studio seems unique. Tried the suggestion but kept getting "could not parse" error. I was able to strip out the first part of the url with the following. Event Label is where I store URL of downloaded PDF.
The URL:
https://www.dudesolutions.com/Portals/0/Documents/HC_Brochure_Digital.pdf?ver=2018-03-18-110927-033
REGEXP_EXTRACT( Event Label , 'Documents/([^&]+)' )
The result:
HC_Brochure_Digital.pdf?ver=2018-03-18-110927-033
Now trying to determine how do I pull out everything after the? where the version data is, so as to extract just the Filename.pdf.
You could try:
[^\/]+(?=\?[^\/]*$)
This will match CaptialForecasting_Datasheet.pdf even if there is a question mark in the path. For example, the regex will succeed in both of these cases:
https://www.dudesolutions.com/somepath/CaptialForecasting_Datasheet.pdf?ver
https://www.dudesolutions.com/somepath?/CaptialForecasting_Datasheet.pdf?ver
Assuming that the name appears right after the last / and ends with the ?, the regular expression below will leave the name in group 1 where you can get it with \1 or whatever the tool that you are using supports.
.*\/(.*)\?
It basically says: get everything in between the last / and the first ? after, and put it in group 1.
Another regular expression that only matches the file name that you want but is more complex is:
(?<=\/)[^\/]*(?=\?)
It matches all non-/ characters, [^\/], immediately preceded by /, (?<=\/) and immediately followed by ?, (?=\?). The first parentheses is a positive lookbehind, and the second expression in parentheses is a positive lookahead.
This REGEXP_EXTRACT formula captures the characters a-zA-Z0-9_. between / and ?
REGEXP_EXTRACT(Event Label, "/([\\w\\.]+)\\?")
Google Data Studio Report to demonstrate.
Please try the following regex
[A-Za-z\_]*.pdf
I have tried it online at https://regexr.com/. Attaching the screenshot for reference
Please note that this only works for .pdf files
Following regex will extract file name with .pdf extension
(?:[^\/][\d\w\.]+)(?<=(?:.pdf))
You can add more extensions like this,
(?:[^\/][\d\w\.]+)(?<=(?:.pdf)|(?:.jpg))

I'm trying to work out a regex pattern to match URL's.
I currently have URL structures like so
walks/category/catname
walks/category/catname/P12
walks/category/catname/P24
I want to be able to match them and replace them so they end up like so
walks/catname
walks/catname/p2
walks/catname/p3
(where catname is a variable)
So far I had
/walks/category/(.*) to /walks/$1
Which seems to work for the first page of results, but obviously not for the paginated ones.
I'm ab bit stuck so any pointers would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Sort of like
Find walks/.*?(/catname.*)
Replace walks$1
Construct the regex to insert the catname variable
var regex = 'walks/.*?(/' + vCatname + '.*)'
before:
walks/category/catname
walks/category/catname/P12
walks/category/catname/P24
after:
walks/catname
walks/catname/P12
walks/catname/P24
I have response body which contains
"<h3 class="panel-title">Welcome
First Last </h3>"
I want to fetch 'First Last' as a output
The regular expression I have tried are
"Welcome(\s*([A-Za-z]+))(\s*([A-Za-z]+))"
"Welcome \s*([A-Za-z]+)\s*([A-Za-z]+)"
But not able to get the result. If I remove the newline and take it as
"<h3 class="panel-title">Welcome First Last </h3>" it is detecting in online regex maker.
I suspect your problem is the carriage return between "Welcome" and the user name. If you use the "single-line mode" flag (?s) in your regex, it will ignore newlines. Try these:
(?s)Welcome(\s*([A-Za-z]+))(\s*([A-Za-z]+))
(?s)Welcome \s*([A-Za-z]+)\s*([A-Za-z]+)
(this works in jMeter and any other java or php based regex, but not in javascript. In the comments on the question you say you're using javascript and also jMeter - if it is a jMeter question, then this will help. if javaScript, try one of the other answers)
Well, usually I don't recommend regex for this kind of work. DOM manipulation plays at its best.
but you can use following regex to yank text:
/(?:<h3.*?>)([^<]+)(?:<\/h3>)/i
See demo at https://regex101.com/r/wA2sZ9/1
This will extract First and Last names including extra spacing. I'm sure you can easily deal with spaces.
In jmeter reg exp extractor you can use:
<h3 class="panel-title">Welcome(.*?)</h3>
Then take value using $1$.
In the data you shown welcome is followed by enter.If actually its part of response then you have to use \n.
<h3 class="panel-title">Welcome\n(.*?)</h3>
Otherwise above one is enough.
First verify this in jmeter using regular expression tester of response body.
Welcome([\s\S]+?)<
Try this, it will definitely work.
Regular expressions are greedy by default, try this
Welcome\s*([A-Za-z]+)\s*([A-Za-z]+)
Groups 1 and 2 contain your data

Can someone assist in creating a Regex for the following situation:
I have about 2000 records for which I need to do a search/repleace where I need to make a replacement for a known item in each record that looks like this:
<li>View Product Information</li>
The FILEPATH and FILE are variable, but the surrounding HTML is always the same. Can someone assist with what kind of Regex I would substitute for the "FILEPATH/FILE" part of the search?
you may match the constant part and use grouping to put it back
(<li>View Product Information</li>)
then you should replace the string with $1your_replacement$2, where $1 is the first matching group and $2 the second (if using python for instance you should call Match.group(1) and Match.group(2))
You would have to escape \ chars if you're using Java instead.
I made an article spinner that used regex to find words in this syntax:
{word1|word2}
And then split them up at the "|", but I need a way to make it support tier 2 brackets, such as:
{{word1|word2}|{word3|word4}}
What my code does when presented with such a line, is take "{{word1|word2}" and "{word3|word4}", and this is not as intended.
What I want is when presented with such a line, my code breaks it up as "{word1|word2}|{word3|word4}", so that I can use this with the original function and break it into the actual words.
I am using c#.
Here is the pseudo code of how it might look like:
Check string for regex match to "{{word1|word2}|{word3|word4}}" pattern
If found, store each one as "{word1|word2}|{word3|word4}" in MatchCollection (mc1)
Split the word at the "|" but not the one inside the brackets, and select a random one (aka, "{word1|word2}" or "{word3|word4}")
Store the new results aka "{word1|word2}" and "{word3|word4}" in a new MatchCollection (mc2)
Now search the string again, this time looking for "{word1|word2}" only and ignore the double "{{" "}}"
Store these in mc2.
I can not split these up normally
Here is the regex I use to search for "{word1|word2}":
Regex regexObj = new Regex(#"\{.*?\}", RegexOptions.Singleline);
MatchCollection m = regexObj.Matches(originalText); //How I store them
Hopefully someone can help, thanks!
Edit: I solved this using a recursive method. I was building an article spinner btw.
That is not parsable using a regular expression, instead you have to use a recursive descent parser. Map it to JSON by replacing:
{ with [
| with ,
wordX with "wordX" (regex \w+)
Then your input
{{word1|word2}|{word3|word4}}
becomes valid JSON
[["word1","word2"],["word3","word4"]]
and will map directly to PHP arrays when you call json_decode.
In C#, the same should be possible with JavaScriptSerializer.
I'm really not completely sure WHAT you're asking for, but I'll give it a go:
If you want to get {word1|word2}|{word3|word4} out of any occurrence of {{word1|word2}|{word3|word4}} but not {word1|word2} or {word3|word4}, then use this:
#"\{(\{[^}]*\}\|\{[^}]*\})\}"
...which will match {{word1|word2}|{word3|word4}}, but with {word1|word2}|{word3|word4} in the first matching group.
I'm not sure if this will be helpful or even if it's along the right track, but I'll try to check back every once in a while for more questions or clarifications.
