Overview

This page demonstrates how to use the Attachment Table macro, which is part of the Advanced Tables for Confluence app, to select attachments based on the space or attachment name, using a regex expression.

Use the special @self value for the spaceRegex parameter to match on all attachments in the current space.
Use .*png|.*jpg to match on attachments whose name ends in PNG or JPG.

{attachment-table:spaceRegex=@self|attachmentRegex=.*png}

Confluence is more limited on parameter values. In this case, | (pipe - used for regex or) is a reserved character, so it cannot be used.

Example result

Selecting attachments based on matching on more than one label

The above example shows how to match on one label. Constructing a regex to match attachments that have two or more specific labels is a bit more complicated.

Set the Label match option to all.
Use a regex pattern similar to the following using xxx, yyy, and zzz as example labels:

2 labels:  .*(?:.*\b(?:(?:xxx)|(?:yyy))\b.*){2}.*
3 labels:  .*(?:.*\b(?:(?:xxx)|(?:yyy)|(?:zzz))\b.*){3}.*
