[b]Filtering episodes[/b]

Postby Parafinn » Sun May 09, 2004 5:18 am

I've got a simple problem.

I'm grabbing episdoes from a TV series and i want to filter out file names.

Say i have all the episodes from Series 1 & 2 of say SG1 but want all the episodes from series 3.

How would i write an expression for that?

I thought i would be easy but i'm a bit confused :?

The files usually have a file name like 'Stargate SG1 - 4x09 - Scorched Earth - ac3-amc.part05.rar'

So i guess i need the SG1 part and the 4x09 part together in the expression?

Seems to me filter rejecting "4x09" might be all you need. Create a profile for that group and assign it to the group.

"SGI.*4x09" (no quotes) would probably also catch it.
