I'm trying to exclude my top-level page and certain section pages from a custom report using the exclude filter. It works for a single pattern (i.e. news), but when I try multiple patterns separated by pipes as described here (i.e. news|blog|catvideos), none of the patterns are filtered. I would create a filter for each pattern but I need more filters than the maximum allowed by analytics. Is there something wrong with my syntax? Any advice would be appreciated.

Select "Matching Regex" instead of "containing" while filtration. And then simply enter the pattern you are entering i.e. (news|blog)

Here's a solution I found. Instead of using the "exact" match setting for the filter pattern, I switched to "regex". The regex string to filter the multiple-pattern string in the example above would be ^/news$|^/blog$|^/catvideos$.
