search match= any character

bredita · 2007-01-21, 01:42

I have this:
<title>Rally: Dakar 2007</title>

And I want to do this:
<Search match=": [.*]$" field="#SUBTITLE" remove="true" />

In order to end up with this:
#TITLE=Rally
#SUBTITLE=Dakar 2007

But I can't figure out a way to do it.
Can anyone help with what I should use in order to match "any character"?

This should be possible, haven't tested your regex, but using this the #SUBTITLE will end up with the ':' at the front. Which is not so nice.

Another way to do this would be in the template:

<#TITLE>:<#SUBTITLE>

then if the ':' is not found it will put every thing into <#TITLE> and skip the <#SUBTITLE> tag.

Thanks for your quick reply

I tried a few variations of that.

Problem is that I want to split it on the first colon : OR the first parenthesis (
whichever comes first. Prog titles look like this:

Når katastrofen inntreffer: Gangbrokollaps
Dr. Phil (675) (R)

And I also want to "keep" the rerun info (R) in the title.

I'm also editing the mytvguide.xml to make it display more information. I have succeeded in displaying the #TV.Guide.EpisodeName (subtitle) in the guide, but I dont know what the name of "rerun" and "episode number" is (tried #tv.guide.episodenumber and a few more),
so I haven't managed to put them on the guide. If I figure out what the name of these are, then I can just display them in the guide instead of putting them in the title

I tried your suggestion but it didnt work as expected. So I gave up.

As suggested in another thread, I have switched to the dagbladet grabber for norway. A lot faster (because it doesn't do description downloads) and good info there too.

Now I just need to figure out how to display #EPISODE, #TTV and #REPEAT in the guide and I'll be happy

I managed to add the subtitle to the dagbladet grabber. It's not pretty, but it works. Sometimes it grabs unwanted info though.

<Search match=": [A-Za-z0-9 \x21-\x3a\x3f-\xff]{1,256}" field="#SUBTITLE" remove="true" />

I'm happy with it, for now.
