Dollar sign ($) [Legacy]

You are viewing a legacy article about Universal Analytics. Learn more about Google Analytics 4 replacing Universal Analytics .

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

However, end$ doesn’t match:

  • 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.
