Google Analytics - Goals setup regular expression match

Question

I have urls like the following:

• http://example.com/item/1

• http://example.com/item/1341

• http://example.com/item/33324

I want to set up a funnel in Google Analytics and I understand that I can use a regular expression.

What would i enter to match all the above URLs i.e /item/#{id}?

Answer 1

Technically, assuming you want matches to only /item/#### and not allow /item/ (without a number), you should use:

/item/[0-9]+

Answer 2

/item/[0-9]* 

should do it. You can test it out by using the Find URL field at the bottom of the Top Content report (old analytics) or on the Site Content->Pages report on the new interface you can do an advanced filter and enter it as a regular expression.
