[QUOTE="Karyudo, post: 231209, member: 65921"] First of all, I'd recommend getting a regex editor. There's no way I could write anything without one (yet). It'd be like being Neo in the dojo without Morpheus. You ain't gonna get to be Flying, A55-Kicking, Smith-Fighting Neo without a Morpheus in your corner to help you out. So go get Expresso (it's free!) and start with the tutorials. Or grab a regex that works and some sample text (i.e. a filename) it's known to work on, and use Expresso to figure out how and why it works! Having said that, this should work for your filenames: [CODE](?<series>[\w .,'!&$]*)\\[\w\s0-9]*\\(?<season>[0-9]{1})(?<episode>[0-9]{2}).{3}(?<title>[\w .,'!&$]*)\.[/CODE] Again, it might not be very elegant, but this is my third-ever attempt at writing regex. This is not hard-coded for Entourage. It also doesn't use the "Season 1" foldername to get the season; it uses the filename. And it ignores everything upstream of the "Series" foldername. (P.S. If this does work for you, please add it to the "Expressions/Rules Exchange" thread, so other people can use it, too!) [/QUOTE]
