Analytics Regex: eclude part of links which contain the one word

Question

please help me to nake regular expresion. I have two types of links:

1) collection page:https://www.rentuu.com/collections/bedroom

2) product page:https://www.rentuu.com/collections/bedroom/products/bean-bag

They have the same begining and I need to see in my report only collection pages and exclude product pages.

How can I change *collections/.* to make it?

And if you replace `^` (start of string) with `(^|/)` (start of string or slash)? — Wiktor Stribiżew, Jul 27 '18 at 08:16
Why you don't use "exclude" filter? and regexp like this `\/products\/`? — zborovskaya, Jul 27 '18 at 08:32

As far as I understand, your rule for such URLs would be to check URLs with "collections", but without "products".

There's a topic discussing regex for excluding string pattern. However, I think it's not supported in Google Analytics.

One approach would be two use two filters in your reports: one to include all pages with "collections", an other one to exclude pages with "products". You can of course bee more specic with the rules. E.g.

If for any reason you must use only one filter, you could craft something like this, meaning: get all pages starting with /collections, having some other letters (collection name) after an other / character, which is then followed by URL parameters (?) or end of string ($), meaning no product names can come after.

^\/collections\/[a-z]+(\?|$)

Hi, your expression works perfectly. Thank you fot it. – Максим Осовитний Jul 27 '18 at 09:14 — Максим Осовитний, Jul 27 '18 at 09:14
