[QUOTE="Karyudo, post: 230871, member: 65921"] My first post on the MP Forums... I have a lot of eps that don't get parsed right, but instead of asking for help right away, I thought I'd give writing some regex a try. I found pretty quickly that regex is pretty difficult to parse if you're not a computer. So I looked for a good editor. I found [URL="http://www.ultrapico.com/Expresso.htm"]Expresso (http://www.ultrapico.com/Expresso.htm)[/URL], which is free, and seems to parse the sort of regex that gets used in TVSeries. I have a bunch of files of the form: W:\Torrents\Arrested Development\Season 1\Arrested Development - S1 E 19 - Best: Man, for the 'Gob'.avi For which I wrote: [CODE] (?<series>[\w \.,'\:&\-\)$]*).-..(?<season>[0-9 ]{1,2})..?(?<episode>[0-9 ]{1,2}).-.(?<title>[\w \.:',&\-\($]*)\.(?<ext>[^\\]{0,3})$[/CODE] Might not be the most elegant or compact or flexible regular expression ever written, but I'm thinkin' it's not too bad for somebody who didn't even know what regex [b]was[/b] until this past Tuesday! Now I have to see if it will actually work in MP TVSeries like it does in Expresso... [/QUOTE]
