APM HTTP monitor search string

Not sure if this is possilbe....but i'd like to use an HTTP monitor to search a web page and tell me if a specific path is in the source....but i want to use a wildcard as part of the search string.....for instance this search string works...... /javascript/localized/ie8.js ....but i'd like to have the monitor search for any .js......is there a way to do this....i've already tried this /javascript/localized/*.js and it doesn't work....

thanks in advance

Hi, stevel.

I see what you're trying to do. Unfortunately, the search string field in the HTTP monitor can't take a wildcard.

I'll add a feature request to either allow a wildcard or to take a regular expression.

ok....thanks for putting the feature request in....

I know this is an old thread, but I would really like the ability to use a regular expression too.

This is from another thread located here

Here is a way to use powershell to grab a web page and to a regex look in it:
$URL = 'https://${IP}/';
$REGEX = '(line 1)(.|\n)*(line 12)'

# Ignore Certificate errors
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback = {$true}

#Create Object to access web page
$client = new-object System.Net.WebClient

#Pull web page into string variable
$Data = $client.DownloadString($URL)

#Compare to regex
If ([regex]::IsMatch($Data,$REGEX)) {
'Statistic: 0'
exit 0
} else {
'Statistic: 1'
exit 1
}
It would be nicer if it was built in, but hey at least the framework is flexible...
