Allow testing Regex when creating a Custom Dimension Extraction #17614

Open Findus23 opened 3 years ago

Findus23 commented 3 years ago

Creating regex is hard and the way Matomo interprets them is not identical to what people would expect when entering the regex (e.g. https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/issues/16604)

I think now that there is a great guide for it and more people will want to use this feature it would be incredibly helpful if there was a quick way to test the entered regex.

Something like a text box where one can paste the URL and Matomo prints the matched group.

We got another request for this today. Would be great if this was added as a feature.
