1. What's it?
From the 2.3.0 version, Proxyman supports Wildcard and full-matching Regex (Regular Expression) when you define matching rules for all available tools:
Map Local
Map Remote
Block & Allow List
Breakpoints
Protocol Buffers (Protobuf)
Reverse Proxy
Network Throttling
It's a handy tool to help you exactly define which requests should trigger the tool
2. Wildcard
Proxyman supports simple Wildcard characters, which include * and ?
Wildcard
Purpose
*
The asterisk in a wildcard matches any character zero or more times.
?
A question mark matches a single character once.
For instance:
http://proxyman.io/v1/*
https://myserver.com/v?/*

Make sure your regex is Full Matching the URL.
Partial Matching is considered as not matching.
Make sure you escape characters properly: Splash (/), full-stop (.), etc.
