[QUOTE="its_me_gb, post: 208467, member: 57350"] Hey Alex, I also found the parsing expressions quite confusing when i started using TvSeries! However i had a read about RegExp (Regular Expressions) and have since been able to form some quite complex parsing expressions! Anyway, this regexp should be able to parse your family guy files: [CODE](?<series>[ a-zA-X]*)[\\]Season (?<season>[0-9]*)[\\](?<episode>[0-9]*) - (?<title>[ \w\sa-zA-Z]*)\.(?<ext>[^\\]{0,3})[/CODE] It should parse most file names (crosses fingers). Just as a comparison, here is the equivilant as a simple parsing expression: [CODE]<series>\Season <season>\<episode> - <title>.<ext>[/CODE] Looking at it, it does seem quite pointless using regexp, but once you can use it properly it allows alot for flexibility. Google for some tutorials. I Hope this helps, and if the expressions don't work, please let me know. gb [/QUOTE]
