RegEx need to be supported in segmentation

[#1]

When I user segmentation and analytics report, I can't find an operator to support regular expression. The "match" operator only supports wildcard(*), that can't satisify too much  business.

The issue puzzles me a lot. The RegEx is so wildely used,  but why it not be used in adobe analytics(the segment in reports&analytics).

[#2]

It would be a big time saver to be able to use special charachters when building segments -for example the wildcard charachter: (*)

Thanks for submitting this. We will keep an eye on it for votes and comments, and I will follow up with our development team accordingly.

Agree, this would be a very handy feature to have.

You could always build a classfication with ReEx as  round about way of segmenting.  

Still would be handy to have in the segment builder.

Great idea.

RegExp in Segments AND in Report Filters. One of the major things I miss in Adobe Analytics!

[#8]

I support this idea wholeheartedly.  Being relatively new to using Adobe Analytics, I was really surprised this ability was not readily available unlike other digital analytics tools.  

Regex isn't difficult for beginners to learn and provides a multitude of ways to approach segments and report filters.

PLEASE PLEASE can you build this, it would greatly improve efficiency.

Use Case: I want to build a segment which groups popular holiday durations e.g. 3, 7, 14, 10 days etc, 

I can do this by doing multiple containers with or's inbetween, but lets say there is 20 of these, if there was a way to regex match using something like [3|7|14|10...] for example I could do this in a fraction of the time. Exists in workbench already. 

Unfortunately the 'contains any of' won't work here because putting '3, 7 14 10' also brings in 30, 33, 13 etc. 

Can I add to this though that it would be good to have regex across the product, in filters, build of metrics, workspace etc, anywhere you have a equals/matches type use it should also be there. 

Ben - I know you usually respond to these, could you advise where it is on the roadmap please. 

Thanks

Want to add another strong vote for this! I am trying to create a segment with 200 values it will be so easy to create this as a regex instead of standard interface!

I am very surprised that this was not a feature to begin with really a big miss!

Thanks!

Absolutely agree with this. Google Analytics has had regex since the beginning, and it makes filtering results very powerful and very easy.
