Group regex #24

Closed Fietspomp86 closed 5 years ago

Fietspomp86 commented 5 years ago

Hi,

Love this project. Is it possible to add the regex function also to groups? I'm using "mytvonline" provider and each group-title also contains the channel name. (I know it's stupid).

Here's an example of a line in the m3u file. #EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="NPO1.nl" tvg-name="NL4K+ | NPO 1" tvg-logo="http://mytvonline.nl/picons/npo1hd.png" group-title="TV 4K+ | Nederland",NL4K+ | NPO 1

Thanks!

Hi there,

Yes I'm sure I'll be able to work something out to enable regex pattern matching against groups to be kept.

This is a good idea for a feature request but I agree, if someone somewhere has decided to include channel names within group names that does seem..silly.

Leave it with me and I'll take a look asap.

Cheers Joe

There you go @Fietspomp86, one change committed directly to the master branch.

This change extends the --groups / -g [GROUPS] argument, hopefully it should enable you to configure one or more regex patterns to match against whatever group text contains the good stuff.

Please update and give it a go, cheers.

Great that you fixed it so quickly. Any chance there's somewhere a list how to use these regex? Can't seem to get it working.

EDIT: Nevermind it's very simple, works perfect here! Thanks very much!

No problem, it's good to hear that you got it working. Regular expressions can be one of the most complex error-prone things known to man in my opinion.
