Cannot differentiate between Series 1 and Series 12 #283

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I am trying to download "New tricks: Season 1" (it may never happen, but I have it in my PVR) but it keeps trying to download Season 12 (which I already have).

Obviously, not a massive issue, but certain REGEX codes work, but some seem not to.

Works: ^ works (start of string) \ works (escape)

Does not work: $ does not work (end of string)

Examples ^Noughts \+ Crosses: Series 1 finds all 3 episodes ^Noughts \+ Crosses: Series 1$ finds nothing

My real case is: New tricks: Series 1$ to get season1, but not season 12

Am I simply using the wrong character for "end of string" or does it simply not work?

The string being searched contains more than just the series title, so constrain your match to a word boundary instead of end of string.

thanks. do you mean with \> - that didn't work for me.

howyallare commented 4 years ago

Only Perl regular expressions can be used.
