Webrequest cleanrule does not work

[henk_stobbe]

Good morning,

I am trying below cleanup rule:

(also tried %20 without ()), but that also did not work.

Is is a bug or is it a feature?

Maybe escaping the % with a \ ?

Hi Julius,

Thanks for the hint, sorry no luck…

Also tried " " \u0020 , (%)20  (-;

Hi. Tested %20 as regular expression for clean up and it works.

Anycase, there is no need to include a capture group in regular expresions for cleanup rules: all matching strings are removed.

Hello,

A second look: the %20 is part of a placeholder (URL query),

I created a naming rule adding a “query parameter”. After adding the cleanup rule of %20, you can clearly see that this has no impact on the placeholder

So the solution is simple ,

You create two placeholders one that stops at the %20 and one that starts at %20 (so you split up with the help of the %20)

Have a great weekend!
