: Combine trailing slashes in analytics Inside my analytics profile, I have to aggregate data from URLs when they are on separate rows because example.com/path is different from example.com/path/.

@Caterina187

After attempting what lunametrics did to combine their URIs with & without ending slashes, and not getting it to work, I started to think about the problem in a different way. Instead of appending slashes when they are missing, why not remove them if they are there? i.e. example.com/path/ would then become example.com/path in my reports.

Note: This is probably only a good idea if you also have the other URI rewriting filter I use, that adds the hostname to your reports. Otherwise views to your index page, which would normally be reported as / would probably show as a blank line. I'm not actually sure what would happen... But this is a solution for me that answers my problem: how to combine related rows in my reports.

Here is my filter that I have working ($ denotes the end of the string and the preceding / is a single character match which then gets 'replaced' with nothing):

Perhaps try simplifying your filter to something like this:



So something like /test1/test2////// becomes /test1/test2/, or /test becomes /test/.

Note that you don't need to escape / slashes as GA uses a different regex engine than what people normally use.
