RegEx for Dynamic URL Goals settings

I have tried to work this RegEx to set up a goal in GA for 2 days, but I cannot get my head around it...

The URL format is like this:

/purchase.php?cDd=1&transaction_id=xxxxxxx&verify=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=&method=creditcard&type=purchase

transaction_id= is populated with a sept of numbers verify= is populated by a string of numbers, letters in both caps and lower case

Basically I would like to only match URLs which finish by &method=creditcard&type=purchase

I have tried to just put &method=creditcard&type=purchase but it does retrieve other URLs too.

Solution

  • Put a $ sign at the end of your regex.

    This way you enforce to only match url's that end with &method=creditcard&type=purchase

    ^/purchase.php\?cDd=1&transaction_id=[0-9]*&verify=[a-zA-Z0-9]*=&method=creditcard&type=purchase$

    or

    &method=creditcard&type=purchase$

    would do the trick
