[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1264952, member: 18896"] After I posted it I figured it out. I think in a dark old past IMDb uses title1234567 format, before moving to tt1234567 and now tt12345678 If it was me, I would just purge that entire block as Amazon is never going to reintroduce it, and every entry in their system has been converted. The following should work fine: [code] public static string parseFile(string filePath) { logger.Info("Parsing NFO file: {0}", filePath); // Read the nfo file content into a string string s = File.ReadAllText(filePath); // Check for the existance of a imdb id Match match = Regex.Match(s, @"tt\d{7,8}", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase); // If success return the id, on failure return empty. if (match.Success) { s = match.Value; logger.Debug("ImdbID Found: {0}", s); } else { s = null; logger.Debug("No ImdbID Found."); } // return the string return s; } [/code] Another solution would be to adjust the RegExp capture group and do a RegExp replace, where "title" is replaced by "tt", so it has the same results and then RegExp sorts out the 7 or 8 character length. My vote is to purge it, cleaner code and time to dump legacy (y) [/QUOTE]
