Regex help please

[firekidop]

I set accept

Code: Select all

re:^(Survivor)+.S*

if i am not wrong basically name start from Survivor.S. however sabnzb downloaded a release name "Survivor.Za.S08E07.720p.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.H.264-BTN"

any idea how to solve the problem? does "+.S*" ignoring?

[sander]

what is the problem?

so: what do you want to download, and what not? Examples please.

Your current regex

re:^(Survivor)+.S*

says something like:
from beginning of line
Survivor
happens at least once
then anything
then a S
then anything

... so Survivor.Za.S08E07.720p.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.H.264-BTN fits that: starts with Survivor, and there is a S somehwere

[firekidop]

oh my bad. here is what i want to download.

Survivor.S01E14.AMZN.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.H.264-AJP69

i want to download after Survivor keyword if there is .S. kindly help please.

[sander]

Did you try

^Survivor\.S

in a regex, a dot "." means "anything".
if you want a real, use "\."

[firekidop]

thnak you so much. it's working fine. just a confirmation, can i use following regex for multiple keyword? i tested and it seems working fine.

Code: Select all

re:^(Monsters.at.Work|Survivor)\.S

[sander]

I think that works.

... and, again: Monsters.at.Work will also match MonstersFatyWork

This is a nice online tool: https://pythex.org/?regex=%5E(Monsters. ... &verbose=0

[firekidop]

thank you so much for the regex replace testing link. one more help please.

for this one what will be the correct regex?

Code: Select all

UFC.264.1080p.WEB-DL.H264.Fight-BB 

this one is working fine, just want to confirmation if it can be conflict with others.

Code: Select all

^(UFC)\.[0-9]

[jcfp]

That would work, although you don't need the parenthesis and you could be extra strict by requiring that the number after "UFC" is followed by another dot, e.g.:

Code: Select all

^UFC\.[0-9]+\.

Another nice site for this stuff is https://regex101.com/ (be sure to select 'python' as the regex flavour), it will also explain what everything does.
