</div> | |
195 <p> | |
196 <a href="content_scripts.html">Content scripts</a> operate on | |
197 a set of URLs defined by match patterns. | |
198 You can put one or more match patterns | |
199 in the <code>"matches"</code> part of | |
200 a content script's section of the manifest, | |
201 as well as in the <code>"exclude_matches"</code> section. | |
202 This page describes the match pattern syntax — | |
203 the rules you need to follow when you specify | |
204 which URLs your content script affects. | |
205 </p> | |
206 <p> | |
207 A match pattern is essentially a URL | |
208 that begins with a permitted scheme (<code>http</code>, | |
209 <code>https</code>, <code>file</code>, <code>ftp</code>, or | |
210 <code>chrome-extension</code>), | |
211 and that can contain '<code>*</code>' characters. | |
212 The special pattern | |
213 <code><all_urls></code> matches any URL | |
214 that starts with a permitted scheme. | |
215 Each match pattern has 3 parts:</p> | |
216 <p></p> | |
217 <ul> | |
218 <li> <em>scheme</em> — | |
219 for example, <code>http</code> or <code>file</code> | |
220 or <code>*</code> | |
221 <p class="note"> | |
222 <b>Note:</b> | |
223 Access to <code>file</code> URLs isn't automatic. | |
224 The user must visit the extensions management page | |
225 and opt in to <code>file</code> access for each extension that requests it. | |
226 </p> | |
227 </li> | |
228 <li> <em>host</em> — | |
229 for example, <code>www.google.com</code> | |
230 or <code>*.google.com</code> | |
231 or <code>*</code>; | |
232 if the scheme is <code>file</code>, | |
233 there is no <em>host</em> part | |
234 </li> | |
235 <li> <em>path</em> — | |
236 for example, <code>/*</code>, <code>/foo* </code>, | |
237 or <code>/foo/bar </code> | |
238 </li> | |
239 </ul> | |
240 <p>Here's the basic syntax:</p> | |
241 <pre><em><url-pattern></em> := <em><scheme></em>://<em><host><
/em><em><path></em> | |
242 <em><scheme></em> := '*' | 'http' | 'https' | 'file' | 'ftp' | 'chrome-ext
ension' | |
243 <em><host></em> := '*' | '*.' <em><any char except '/' and '*'></em>
+ | |
244 <em><path></em> := '/' <em><any chars></em> | |
245 </pre> | |
246 <p> | |
247 The meaning of '<code>*</code>' depends on whether | |
248 it's in the <em>scheme</em>, <em>host</em>, or <em>path</em> part. | |
249 If the <em>scheme</em> is <code>*</code>, | |
250 then it matches either <code>http</code> or <code>https</code>. | |
251 If the <em>host</em> is just <code>*</code>, | |
252 then it matches any host. | |
253 If the <em>host</em> is <code>*.<em>hostname</em></code>, | |
254 then it matches the specified host or any of its subdomains. | |
255 In the <em>path</em> section, | |
256 each '<code>*</code>' matches 0 or more characters. | |
257 The following table shows some valid patterns. | |
