Filtering Purepath URIs
I am trying to filter my PurePaths list by Web Request URI, but I can't seem to figure out the logic of the filters:
- What is the difference between "matches" and "regex"?
- Why doesn't filter illustracted actually match any PurePaths with the word "meta" in their URI?
- Where in the documentation can I find these answers for myself?
Hi
I've created a page in our documentation that explains the options you have - thanks for pointing this out: RegEx - Using Regular Expressions
So - to answer your questions
a) see RegEx - Using Regular Expressions
b) You would need to change your regex to .*meta.*
c) see RegEx - Using Regular Expressions
hope this helps
OK, thanks for the doc.
Your answer to (b) implies that there is an implicit match to beginning and end of the string, as if my pattern is wrapped in ^$ before using. Is that right?
In case b) we match the FULL regular expression. Thats why I put a .* in the beginning and end as all you really want is to check which URLs "contain" the value "meta". You could also achieve that with using our "contains" match instead of the RegEx - but - RegEx would of course also work
