Title Test Details Facebook Pages
Expression
http[s]?://(www|[a-zA-Z]{2}-[a-zA-Z]{2})\.facebook\.com/(pages/[a-zA-Z0-9\.-]+/[0-9]+|[a-zA-Z0-9\.-]+)[/]?$
Description
Validating a Facebook page can be a little bit tricky. This is because there are two valid formats. The first is facebook.com/pages/USERNAME/numbers/, the second is designed for big business which grants them a clean url such as facebook.com/coca-cola/. I see this regex being used in a user profile admin page and I think it does a good enough job for this purpose. The problem is bad urls could slip through which meet the criteria for the clean facebook page url but aren't in valid pages on the site. The main example being that an incomplete numbered url could slip through as http://www.facebook.com/pages/ would validate. Facebook also uses various subdomains such as en-gb.facebook.com to provide localised versions of the site. This regex will accept a prefix of either www or a locale code of two letters dash two letters. It doesn't validate the actual country code though. [UPDATED] Added full stop to list of valid characters for page names.

Title Test Details Allow digits but exclude certain numbers
Expression
^(?!^(5|15|18|30)$)\d+$
Description
Because a regular expression only deals with a single character at a time it can be a challenge to work with numbers as they often contain multiple digits. This regex allows any number except the numbers in the list. It does this by using a negative look ahead to fail the regex if it finds an excluded number.

Non-Matches
5 | 15 | 18 | 30

Title Test Details Google Analytics Account Id
Expression
^UA-\d+-\d+$
Description
This is an intentionally loose implementation. The number in the middle (account num) is constantly increasing as new accounts are made. The number on the end represents the profile number which shouldn't go over 50 but I haven't locked this down so that both elements are future proofed.
Matches
UA-686645-1 | UA-71354555-50 | UA-1-1
Non-Matches
UA-686645-1DD | UA-68DD6645-1 | GA-686645-1

Title Test Details Optional Querystring

Description
Add this on to the end of your url rewriting regex to allow an optional querystring to be appended to whatever you are matching. Useful for example when you set up a Google PPC campaign and all of your urls break. Note: doesn't handle #fragments.
Matches
?with=querystring | | ?with=multiple&query=strings
Non-Matches
?with=querystring#fragment

Title Test Details Match Default Document + Optional Querystring
Expression
^~/(?:default\.aspx)?(?:\?=.*)?$
Description
Designed for asp.net default document matching. It allows either a plain url (~/) or a default document url (~/default.aspx) both with an optional querystring. Cassini and IIS7 handle default document matching differently. The user could type it either way. The breadcrumb / sitemap system is funny about omitting default.aspx. Note: Doesn't handle #fragements
Matches
/default.aspx | /default.aspx?query=string | / | /?query=string
Non-Matches
/default.aspx#fragment | /default.aspx?query=string#fragment | /#fragment | /?query=string#fragment

Title Test Details UK Postcode District (Loose Match)
Expression
[A-Za-z]{1,2}[\d]{1,2}[A-Za-z]{0,1}
Description
The postcode district is the first block of a UK postcode. For example with DN55 1PT it would match DN55. Its a loose match as it only ensures that the format is correct, it doesn't validate the letters and numbers. It doesn't let in the non-geographic codes postcodes SAN TA1 and GIR 0AA. It will pull out the first block of any of the matching examples below. Examples of the names of the different parts of a UK postcode can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postcodes_in_the_United_Kingdom#Life-cycle_of_post_codes
Matches
