Regex extract to only apply if word found in string

[nicoleahmed]

Hi

Great app.

I would like to use regex rules only when certain combos are found in the field

Specifically a delimiter proceeded by BBC or MTV

I tried using a look ahead which didn't work.

Im wanting to split a track name into track and album but only if those words are found

E. G.

Nicole 's song (BBC live lounge) Would become Track: Nicole's song Album: BBC live lounge

But "Nicole's song - festival of light" would be unaffected

Another separate issue to the groups matching question (apply rule only if test group present)

Is that that the rule is applied even if not all the fields are matched. Example I have to put an artist field in to extract. But the rule is applied in testing even when there is no track info provided - just artist info.

I assumed this would be AND logic rather than OR logic

But what I'm seeing in testing is that my test filter is applied even with the artist field

[nicoleahmed]

It works properly in testing if artist info is excluded. But regex extract can't be used without an artist field

I only want to extract album information and leave artist alone.

Is there a way to do this?

I think the issue would be fixed if artist group wasnt compulsory

Apologies

I think I'd got the regex wrong

Here is the regex I used and seems to be working g

^(?.?)(?:\s)(-|(|[|\/)(.?(?bbc[A-Za-z0-9 ]?))(?:\s*)?[)]]?$

Your first regex seems to work for me in the regex test screen although it won't actually work for YouTube as of now because, for YouTube user regexes are applied only after it goes through the built in YouTube title parser. This will change after I rewrite the messy built in YouTube title parser one day.

The second issue of OR like behaviour seems like a bug, it will be fixed soon.

Yes sorry there is a bug

The OR vs AND

So This rule is being applied even when there is no Saturday Night Live in the track info

Both issues should be fixed in v3.14
