Pattern Match

RTP exposes a utility function to check if the pattern matches certain string. The utility can not be used in async because it returns an indication if there is a match or not.

You must become a Web Personalization customer and have the RTP tag deployed on your site prior to using the User Context API.

Usage

rtp.checkPattern(check_against, pattern);

Examples

Set custom variable in index 1 if current page URL ends with “productA”.

if (rtp.checkPattern(window.location.href, '%productA')) {
    rtp('set', 'custom1', 'productA');
}

The current URL path is ‘/products/productB’. This example checks if path contains “products” and set custom variable.

var currentURLPath = '/products/productB';
if (rtp.checkPattern(currentURLPath, '%products%')) {
    rtp('set', 'custom1', 'products');
}
