Regular Expressions on Ebay Connector?

Support
#1

I'm sure it's possible. It always usually is. But what would be the best way to use regular expressions within the ebay connector in the new 7.0 version?

I have it pulling all the results I am looking for based on my keywords, however is there a way for me to tell the formula to EXCLUDE a certain word from the results? Or skip it?

My products are OEM and my results return many "Compatible" or "Non-OEM" results. I tried to think of other keywords to include that the compatibles wouldn't contain but it looks like those China retailers are using all the tricks to have their products land even for an OEM search.

I am familiar with the xpathonurl function which can return the same results but it would be much easier to use this connector. So far so good though I like the new connectors. Thanks!

Hi,

Can't you just exclude with in the initial query? Like this:
