Support / Help with File Scanner...
« on: January 21, 2010, 09:43:30 pm »
Hi, Just found this software and it looks great. Only problem is my understanding of Regex. I have been reading the site which is often referenced http://www.regular-expressions.info/tutorial.html and have made a list of functions but I am still confused.

My files are named like this...

title_source.mkv

The only problem is all my titles use a hyphen rather than a space i.e bigger-than-life_dvd.mkv or imagine-werner-herzog_dvb.mkv for freeview recordings.

I tried a few things to ignore anything beyond the _ with no luck.

I also tried to use the find replace function finding all "-" which works fine but I can't specify what to replace it with so all the titles become biggerthanlife_dvd etc.

Also the programme finds most of the titles fine anyway but insists on creating two entries one linked to the the file with the filename as title and the correct title with no linked file. If it can find the title why doesn't it replace my filename with the title I identified?

Hope this make sense. Bascally I would like to know how to parse all "-" as spaces and record anything before "_" as the title.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks
Mojibake
