Regex not working as expected

[Bast]

Hi guys,

My revive version is 3.0.5, and I have some problems with regex.

Actually, I already created a lot of targeting chanels with delivery limitations, but I don't manage to create this one which seems really simple.

Actually, I simply want to match either my domain or my domain ending with a slash.

You can have a look at both screenshot I added to see which regex I used. (these ones don't work neither (mydomain.com)(/)?$   OR  (mydomain.com).?$ )

The banner is not displayed if I access neither http://www.mydomain.com nor http://www.mydomain.com/ but this works if I access http://mydomain.com?testfrombast

NOTE: 'www' is optionnal, and my real regex links 2 domain (mydomain.com|mydomain2.com)(/)?$

Thanks in advance.

I would like to recommend upgrading to the most recent version of Revive Adserver, the version you're using has several known bugs and security issues.

Hi Erik,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I saw this tutorial (written by you and your team): https://www.revive-adserver.com/support/upgrading/

So can you tell me if the regular expression I used will work on newest version?

And otherwise, how can I make them work in this version?

I unfortunately don't have so much time to upgrade the live adserver now...

Regards,

Bast

I am not aware of any changes related to regex since v3.0.5 (but I haven't checked in detail). Just upgrading would not suddenly make it work. It's more likely that either you found a bug or you are trying to do something that won't work in any version. Unfortunately, I'm not a coder myself, so I would not know how to spot an error in your example (if there is an error...)

An upgrade shouldn't take more than 15 minutes (in most cases). If you don't, it is not unlikely you'll get hacked soon.

Ok, so I would update it soon. Thanks for the tip.

BTW: having a kind of online regex tester for AdServer would be great! (e.g.: http://www.rubular.com/r/frRl1ucR8J)

Just a thought @Bast - I don't have time right now to test, but do you need to include the opening and closing forward slashes into the regex?

It may also be that you need to escape the forward slash that is in your regex with a backslash...
