Not accepting file output format used by bcr app

[toohazy]

Describe the bug I'm using the following in brc for file output format, based in bcr wiki {date:yyyy-MM-dd @ h.mm a}[_{direction}|][_sim{simslot}|][{phonenumber}|][[{contact_name}|{caller_name}|{call_log_name}]|]

When I enter this into bcr-gui, I get the following error in red letters: Invalid regular expression: /{date:yyyy-MM-dd @ h.mm a}[_(?in|out|conference)|][_sim(?\d+)|][_(?[\d+- ]+|unknown)|][_[(?.)|(?.)|(?.*)]|]/: Unmatched ')'

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to bcr app, open
2. Click on output, edit format, enter desired format, click ok
3. Rename files in bcr folder manually based in new format as suggested in bcr guide
4. Open bcr-gui, click edit next to "fire name pattern" and enter same format used in bcr app
5. Get error message
6. Files in bcr-gui all show a "unknown"

Expected behavior Bcr-gui should accept the pattern and identify the files

There's a slight difference in placeholders between BCR and BCR-GUI, and (sadly) you cannot use the same.

In this case, the placeholder {date:yyyy-MM-dd @ h.mm a} is not valid in BCR. BCR-GUI has a specific placeholder for each date part you'd like to parse, like {date:year}, [date:month} and so on. It also has a default pattern for BCR that should work out of the box (available by pressing the TEMPLATES button).

You can get the list of supported placeholders by pressing the PLACEHOLDERS button.

Feel free to post here a sample filename you'd like to parse (change the number and hide the names) and I'll try to help you get the right pattern😉

Thank you, I looked at the placeholder part, and for example it lacks an AM/PM part and only offers 24h system. I'm also experimenting with bcr's folder feature to immediately sort files.

Parsing AM/PM formatted strings is not impossible, the hard part is to "validate" it to be a valid datetime value 😉. Please post a sample filename here (beware to replace contact name with xxxx and phone number with a sequence like 1234567890).
