Include and exclude rules
User scripts specify include and exclude rules in the metadata block. The script will execute if it matches any include rule, as long as it does not match an exclude rule. The rules are URLs, which can have a "wildcard" asterisk (*), which matches any string. For example: http://www.example.com/foo/* will match http://www.example.com/foo/bar and http://www.example.com/foo/, but not http://www.example.com/baz/. A rule can have several wildcards or none, in which case the rule must match the entire URL exactly. Exclude rules look the same, and prevent the script from being executed. An example:
// ==UserScript== // @include http://www.example.com/foo/* // @include http://www.example.org/*.bar // @exclude http://www.example.com/foo/baz // ==/UserScript==
If no include rule is provided, @include * is assumed. That is, every URL will be matched.
Magic TLD
The only special syntax besides the wildcard is .tld. An include such as http://www.example.tld/* will match any top level domain, such as www.example.com, www.example.org, www.example.net, and so on. One must be careful with this, to not accidentally leak data to a site that they did not mean to match.
The following is a pseudo-code representation of the code that performs the regular expression searching in Greasemonkey that supports the TLD special function. The actual Javascript code is located in the extension convert2RegExp.js file.
Key:
. = actual required period character
* = any character
! = any character not a period
[] = optional
() = parenthetical grouping
AND = logical And
OR = logical Or
, = logical Or
Note that some "AND's" are implied, and Space characters are ignored.
