Regular expressions are already implemented. This should work:
$ stig ls '=~S\\d+' -c name
It's documented here:
$ stig help filtersmanual
Sometimes I'm a little bit dense, but the bit that in theory covers regex would be this one?
Besides the usual operators (=, !=, >, <, >=, <=), "~" matches if the item's value contains the
literal string VALUE and "=~" matches if the item's value matches against the Perl-style regular
expression VALUE.
Example: "name~foo" matches all torrents with "foo" in their name.
Just asking because I've read a few times that help
before opening another issue but maybe I missinterpreted it. Should I go to Perl docs in search of more examples then?
Edit: I'm trying to use it from the inside prompt on an empty tab but I don't think I'm typing it the right way. How would it be from the inside? I don't really use stig from outside itself because my remote instance has password and stuff.
Edit 2: Do you mind if I ask for a little more clarification? I've managed to make the filter work with :list name=~'\\d01-\\d00'
and :list name=~'Name \\d01-\\d00'
but I'm not entirely sure I got the hand of it, because if I need to seek something that is not exactly Name
I don't know how to tell the command "Name
, Anything after Name
and then \\d01-\\d00
"
Edit 3: Sorry for so many edits, seems like all in all, it was my regex skills, although I still think, to my taste, that a quick regex example could be added to filtermanual
for brick-dense users like me. Made it work with :list name=~'.\\d01-\\d00'
I agree that there's room for improvement, but stig is not the place to document regular expression syntax.
The exact implementation used by stig is documented here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html
Hi! This is more a request than an issue.
I was trying to filter some torrents with the format
Name 101-200
I thought that as we have
&
and|
and using~
for literal strings, I could use*
,?
or.
to filter them, something likeName ?01-?00
(my use of regex is bad at best, so don't mind that if that's not the issue, sorry) but I was wrong.It would be too hard to add? Seems like a nice thing to have, thank you.
