Wildcards in name mapped object properties?
Hi
Am I right in thinking that we can only use * and ? wildcards in the identification properties for name map objects?
We can't use ful Regular Expression syntax?
I want to set up a property description for a URL. The end of the URL consists of numbers. But there are additional pages where this URL form the start of another one. So I want to identify if I there is anything after the numbers.
eg.
website.com/user/123 (mapped as - website.com/user/*)
vs
website.com/user/123/details/part1 (not yet mapped but the map for the first one finds it)
So I want the page map for the first one NOT to also work with the second one. The number of digits is not consistent. It may be 123, or it may just be 1. So I can't just use "?" as I don't know how many there will be. If I map the end part as "??" it will find a page with 2 digits, but not one with 1 or 3.
Is there any way to do this? None of the other RegEx controls seem to work with name map properties .... which seems a bit limiting?
(I'm terrible with RegEx ... I must admit .... but only * and ? seem to work in name map properties as far as I can tell ...)
