Use the dollar sign to match the preceding, adjacent characters at the end of a string.
For example, end$ matches:
- Temporarily susp end
- We’re going off the deep end
- Match the characters that prep end

- Temporarily suspend.
- We’re going off the deep end.
- Match the characters that prepend.
The preceding 3 lines all end with nd.rather than the endcharacters you’re matching with the regular expression.
Use this type of regular expression to create segments, filters, or goal steps that match a URI. For example, if you’re you’re testing the efficacy of a new .htm version page vs. an older .html version, you can identify the versions separately with regular expressions like:
- email-signup\.htm$
- email-signup\.html$
Use the slash to escape the dot and ensure that it is interpreted literally.
