cant figure out the right regular expressions

Postby Semel » Tue Jun 29, 2010 1:59 pm

what will be the alternative in regular expressions of this(boolean)
EFNet&(x264|720|1080)
(download subjects that contain efnet AND (x264 OR 720 OR 1080)

something like this - efnet.+(264.|720.|1080.) ? or there is a better version=)

efnet.*(x264|720|1080)

So, "efnet followed by anything that has either x264,720 or 1080 in it". Efnet will have to be before the rest for this though. If you want both before and after. I'd add a second one.

(x264|720|1080).*efnet


(efnet.*(x264|720|1080) )|((x264|720|1080).*efnet)

Should catch both before and after.



You can test these using "Local Search" or loading the group and just typing them into the find box.
