I have some data stored in the variable “current_url”. To this I want to apply a regex function:

current_url.regex("/.com/(\w+)/")

How can I apply the regex and then store the result in another variable?

Use executeScript_Sandbox => there you can run any Javascript code, including regular expressions. The result is stored in a variable.

Thanks for replying! I’m not familiar with JS though. Any idea how we can apply the regex to a given variable via JS?

Do we use like this?

${str}.match(/my_reg_ex/)

I have a macro that use regex in replace command, try to adapt it for your case.

Usually i do not use regex but this code (part of my macro) contains a regex applied in replace.

  "Commands": [
    {
      "Command": "store",
      "Target": "Roma",
      "Value": "Variabile"
    },
    {
      "Command": "executeScript_Sandbox",
      "Target": "var mystring = ${Variabile}; var replaced = mystring.replace(/^Roma$/, \"RM\"); return replaced",
      "Value": "Variabile"
    },
    {
      "Command": "echo",
      "Target": "${Variabile}",
      "Value": ""
    }
  ]
}
