How can I use regex for "contains this word"

I'm trying to setup tracking in Google Analytics.

The goal URL is:

www.example.com/jdsfdf?sdfffs#/thankYou

Every time Google Analytics sees #/thankYou in the URL, I want it to attribute that as a conversion.

How can I use regex to say if the URL contains #/thankYou, then it's a conversion?

This regex will work for you (apparently no escaping is needed on the forward slash):

#/thankYou$

The dollar sign indicates that you require this string to appear a end of the URL. If you don't require that the thankYou come at the end, then remove the dollar sign.

You don't need a regex for an exact string match, but if you must:

/#\/thankYou/

or as @Sundar points out, you may not need to escape anything:

#/thankYou
