Extract user name from cookie
How can I do regex to get a106529 in this sample - string part of cookie? cookie name = ALN.ps.cache.key, then how should I do in regex rule to get "a106529" when I set up split measure for business transaction?
ALN.ps.cache.key=0AC23617-49AB-DE11-0147-81CF98938554|a106529|;
Hi Sharyl,
No, the "?" isn't specific to dT. It's a "non-greedy" read in regex language. The backslash "\" is the escape character. The regex gets read this way:
- .?\| this means to "non-greedy" read to the first vertical bar "|". It's like .*\|, but .*\| will aggressively read to to the last vertical bar
- the ([^\|]*) will read up to the next vertical bar, and put that result into the return group. That's how we get the result.
Here's a screen shot of the "transformation regex" testing tool in dynaTrace showing the result:

Rob,
I think I have to split from header value. following are cookie string under request header. So I think I should use split by Header Value and Header Field = coookie. Now I have to work on new regex. Can you help?
User id is snvjjy03 from ALN.ps.cache.key=0A54D951-206B-DB59-0148-13C2FD6ADC75|snvjjy03|; in following header

Hi Sharyl,
For the pattern shown above, the following should work for you:
.?\|([^\|]*)
Rob
Rob,
Thank you very much. I used $ to escap \ so I got result -. Is ? specific for dynaTrace?
