Regular expressions (1 Viewer)

[KayJay]

I'm not very good with regular expressions but I would like to filter out my comments in my film titles.
Eg. if a DVD movie is missing the menu structure, I name it "Some Movie [m]", if it's missing extras, I add [x] or both, it's [mx] and so on for missing commentaries and whatever else might be of notice with that particular movie.

I want the title parser to ignore the square brackets and everything inside them. In Advanced Setting, there is a filter string set up as ((720p|1080p|1080i|DirCut|DVDRip|DVDScreener|DVDScr|AVCHD|WMV|NTSC|MPEG|DSR|R5|DVDR|DTS|AC3|Bluray|Blu-ray|HDTV|PDTV|HDDVD|XviD|DiVX|x264|dxva)[-]?.*?$) and i would like to add my criteria.
I know [] are used as an operator. I tried changing the last part to ... |dxva|\[*\])[-]?.*?$) but without any success.

Anyone familiar enough with regexps to help me out?

Try this:

((720p|1080p|1080i|DirCut|DVDRip|DVDScreener|DVDScr|AVCHD|WMV|NTSC|MPEG|DSR|R5|DVDR|DTS|AC3|Bluray|Blu-ray|HDTV|PDTV|HDDVD|XviD|DiVX|x264|dxva|\[\D*\])[-]?.*?$)

Thanks, that worked beautifully. Suddenly all my movies are found automatically.

I don't know what the \D operand is, but it did the trick.

Glad to help. For future reference this website has a great real time regex processor that I find very useful.
