Regex Help Needed

gstock97 · 09-01-2015, 06:23 PM

I am not a programmer or dba by any stretch of the imagination. I have spent the better part of a half day trying to get a simple regex import to work. I give up....

My files are named like so.

Author - (Series-01) (2012) Title.epub

My regex is
(?P<author>.+) - (?P<series>[^)].+)-(?P<series_index>\d.+)\s(?P<published>[^_].+)\s(?P<title>[^_].+)

See screen capture for result

Thanks for any help!

Try:

Code:

(?P<author>.+) - \((?P<series>[^)]+)-(?P<series_index>\d+)\) \((?P<published>.+)\) (?P<title>.+)

See how I've used the parentheses to mark out the different fields.
