I have the pages that I want to set as a goal in Google Analytics but there is a part of the URL that is dynamic number (3 integers). How do I specify such a URL with regex?
URLs are:
/info.php?id=XXX&sent=ok
I am using this regular expression
/info.php?id=^[0-9]{3}$&sent=ok
But it is not working.
What is wrong?
Remove the ^ and $ parts. They refer to the beginning and ending of the string, and you have them right in the middle, so nothing can possibly match that expression.
Also the ? symbol is a reserved operator in regular expressions. It means the preceding item is optional. You'll want to escape it by replacing it with \?.
you're using ^ and $ which match beginning and end of the line, respectively. this should work:
/info\.php\?id=[0-9]{3}&sent=ok
You should escape any regex reserved characters like ?. also the $ is usually a line ending in regex, as well as ^ being a line beginning, so yours would fail. Something closer to :
/info\.php\?id=[0-9]{3}&sent=ok
might do the trick
