Well, I figured it out in my head while I was doing something else, so I decided to come back.
It turns out capturing groups that are repeated with the star return only the last found match
, so I doubled the capture group and captured only the first part -- which doesn't have to mean anything to you.
Here is a new template, which works in my custom column I use for testing new bit in red, in case anyone cares:
Code:
{tags:re((([^-/])[^-/]*( - ))?([^-/])[^-/]*(/)([^-/])[^-/]*,\2\3\4\5\6)}
This should work (although I have no idea why you got a much different problem than me).
Also, I had discovered as of last time, this should get away with matching spaces as well, just so long as you always use "-" and "/"
exclusively as the separators, and only "-" the first time, and "/" the second time. For a total of three parts. If you wish more, I will have to construct a new regex.
EDIT: And yes, this is actually a good thing that we got so confused, because now I learned something cool about regex!
