what ia I doing wrong?
I am trying to make an regexp to get the following items from a filename
series seriesindex - title - author. I made this regexp, but the seriesname and index do not apear. What is missing? (?P<series>[^_0-9-]*)(?P<series_index>[^_0-9-]*)\s* - (?P<title>[^_]*)\s* - \s*(?P<author>[^_].+) ? Sample filename = De Donkere Tijd 1 - Schaduwen boven Ullart - Markus Heitz.epub |

 (\s* stands for 0 or more of any type of space)(?P<series>[^_0-9-]*)(?P<series_index>[0-9]*)\s*-\s*(?P<title>[^_].+)\s*-\s*(?P<author>[^_-]+) |

you have \s*<a space>-
the \s* gobbles all spaces before the literal space, therefore if fails Nickolas has it right 0 or more spaces |
