Issue/Introduction

• How can we search for a string with spaces for the field: "Look for Substring on Page"?
• It does not seem to accept spaces.

Environment

• Release: Any
• Component: url_response

Resolution

Click the checkbox for RegEx. 

The syntax uses PCRE (Perl regex).

Also, the regex needs to be surrounded by "/".

For example:

For troubleshooting purposes use the "Test URL" button to test and use the "View Source" button to see how the url_response probe sees the page content.

This might be different than how you see it in a web browser as the web browser might follow a redirect.

Also, be careful of the case you use in the filter (upper versus lower case characters)
