Wildcards when define cookies

[Eldmannen]

Hello

 

In CCleaner at the options dialog, you can define which cookies to keep when you clean the cookies.

 

So I add 'forum.ccleaner.com' and then I have to add other forums that I frequently visit so I dont have to login again everytime I visit them.

 

I think it would be perfect to be able to use wildcards when you define what cookies to keep.

 

So that I can add for example 'forum.*' then it delete all cookies except cookies belonging to the subdomain of 'forum' of any domain.

This is the greatest idea ever, why does nobody reply to this thread?

I dunno. Since it's a feature you want why don't you add it into the suggestions thread.

[Eldmannen]

Oh, didnt know there was a suggestion thread...

It's been there for a rather lengthy time already. It's here:

There might be some advantages in adding regular expression parsing to CCleaner cookie and other sections, but it won't work very well for forums. I have something like 8 forums in my cookie lists: 1 "forum.*", 1 "forums.*" and six that don't use the word at all, like "castlecops", for instance. Designing regular expressions that will cover large groups of cookies is almost certainly very tricky or impossible.

Not unless the cookies could be read and look for things like POST or CODE or whatever, but then again that would probably significantly slow down the cleaning time.
