Question

I want to filter out all URL’s that contain certain words, for example:

I have a URL that looks like this:

http://www.google.com/&SaveThis=true&SaveType=VeryFast&Page=0

And sometimes the ‘Save Type’ might change to slow or something. So what I want to do is show all URL’s that have the ‘SaveType=VeryFast’ sometimes this can be in the middle of a very long URL.

I tried this:

.*SaveType=VeryFast.* 

But it didn’t work!

Thanks

From Tip #4 on this page, it looks like you don’t need the .* on either end. That is, without the ^ and $ anchors, using SaveType=VeryFast should match any URL that contains those exact characters. It does look like word boundary anchors (\b) are not supported, so you will likely also match any URL that contains e.g. OtherSaveType=VeryFast or SaveType=VeryFastly

Otherwise, I don’t see anything wrong with your expression… (?)
