 Fiddler Classic supports regular expression syntax for expressions which begin with **regex**. The regular expression will be used to replace the inbound URL with the string in the Actions column.

Use ^ at the front of your regex to mean "Start of the URL" and use $ at the tail of the regex to mean "End of the URL."
