google analytics - Extracting query parameter value with POSIX regex -
tinkering around google analytics advanced filters.
i know if request uri /?w=value1&x=value2&y=value3 , want extract value of x, regex x=([^&]*)
my question why work?
google support says following:
[] = match 1 item in list
^ = match beginning of field
* = match 0 or more of previous item
how come give me value of query parameter x in x=([^&]*)
any appreciated. thanks!
the ^ in [^&]* means character not in list. ^ character acts 'not' when in brackets [] , beginning of string when not in brackets. putting together, x=([^&]*) after x= stop when hits next &.
