Many stores keep size and colour only in the title. Channels want them as separate fields - Google requires them for clothing variants. A regular expression pulls them out.
- Create a rule that copies the title: under then pick a new field
size(New Column), choose Combine or set value and pick title. - Create a second rule below it: under then pick size, choose Regular Expressions and type the pattern between the two slashes of Regex Match, for example
\b(XXS|XS|S|M|L|XL|XXL)\b. - Add more patterns with + Add Regex Match - the first one that matches is used.
- Check Changes preview, then Save Rule.
Example
titleRain jacket blue XL→sizeXL- With a group in brackets only the group is kept:
Size: (\d+)onRing Size: 54→54
Regular Expressions works on the field it changes - that is why the title is copied first. A product with no match keeps the copied title, so add a third rule if needed: size Contains a space → Set to empty.
