title: How to match a URL with variable parts in it with Robot Framework
body: <p>I'm trying to ensure that the browser URL, after certain operations with Robot Framework, matches a specific pattern (and has specific values) but parts of the resulting page URL change every time and those variable parts make the script fail and I can't seem to be able to get the script to pass.</p>
  
  <p>Here's a hypothetical example of what I'm after:</p>
  
  <p>URL: <code>https://www.google.com/?gfe_rd=cr&amp;ei=eCaTWLf0IO3k8AfGyouIBA#q=Robot+Framework</code></p>
  
  <p>In this URL the content of the "ei" parameter ("eCaTWLf0IO3k8AfGyouIBA") is variable. I want the script to simply ignore that parameter value and the check to pass provided other conditions (unrelated to this problem) are met. So, maybe with a regular expression, something akin to:</p>
  
  <p>URL: <code>https://www.google.com/?gfe_rd=cr&amp;ei=.*#q=Robot+Framework</code></p>
  
  <p>How should I go about getting something like that to work?</p>
