RegEx need to be supported in segmentation

While migrating from GA to Adobe Analytics, lack of regex support within AA was frustrating and disappointing. While there's a way to replicate the logic, missing regex is still a concern. 

You can use them now...in Google Analytics.

It will eliminate implementation/classification need up to a certain extent. Eg. order less than 10 times in a quarter.

Love this idea!

Hi Gigazelle​, any updates on this topic? Is it still considered unpractical?

Chatted with product management on this one. It was actually attempted at one point to introduce this, however the performance of segmentation was brought to its knees. Ultimately it was not followed through to completion.

Absolutely agree with this. Google Analytics has had regex since the beginning, and it makes filtering results very powerful and very easy.

Want to add another strong vote for this! I am trying to create a segment with 200 values it will be so easy to create this as a regex instead of standard interface!

I am very surprised that this was not a feature to begin with really a big miss!

Thanks!

PLEASE PLEASE can you build this, it would greatly improve efficiency.

Use Case: I want to build a segment which groups popular holiday durations e.g. 3, 7, 14, 10 days etc, 

I can do this by doing multiple containers with or's inbetween, but lets say there is 20 of these, if there was a way to regex match using something like [3|7|14|10...] for example I could do this in a fraction of the time. Exists in workbench already. 

Unfortunately the 'contains any of' won't work here because putting '3, 7 14 10' also brings in 30, 33, 13 etc. 

Can I add to this though that it would be good to have regex across the product, in filters, build of metrics, workspace etc, anywhere you have a equals/matches type use it should also be there. 

Ben - I know you usually respond to these, could you advise where it is on the roadmap please. 

Thanks

Mark

I support this idea wholeheartedly.  Being relatively new to using Adobe Analytics, I was really surprised this ability was not readily available unlike other digital analytics tools.  

Regex isn't difficult for beginners to learn and provides a multitude of ways to approach segments and report filters.
