\[(?P<author>.+)\](?P<title>.+)\(ZAP\.org\)\.pdf
does not work but
\[(?P<author>.+)\](?P<title>.+)\(
does work.
I do not understand.
Both should match
[cooking]mytitle(ZAP.org).pdf
The second one does work I just tested it.
Also, why doesn't the first ".+" just match the whole expression following it
until the end of the line?
