I will help with specific problems, but I choose not to plow the sea.
In your two failure cases, the first is a Due South story, not 'the 100', and the second is The 100, not the 100. Regex is case sensitive. Use pattern "[tT]he 100" or add 'The 100' your category normalizing pattern.

Hi Jim,
I've searched and read the thread many times, it how I got as far as I got tbh. And I completely agree with you on the random tagging, how people see it as a positive thing is beyond me. I'd never put my whole .ini file up here it would drive any sane person nuts.
But being the OCD type I am I can't help myself but try to create some order into this mess. And I've designed the excel sheet that convert a whole bunch of random bits of text into lines I can put into my .ini file. It kinda works for me.
I've just been overlooking the fact I only had " the 100" and not " The 100" (I use both seperately because when I copy in a new one, I have Excel check for duplicate input). I'd been looking for a few days now, between my regular work and homereno in and I just couldn't spot it. So
