Can't get OR operator (|) to work in RSS Downloader

[guygizmo]

I can't get the OR operator to work with the RSS downloader.

I'm trying to make an expression like this: "Show Name WEBRip|WEB-DL"

If there are three torrents in my RSS feed with a title like:
Show Name WEBRip 720p
Show Name WEB-DL 720p
Show Name HDTV 720p

then "Show Name" will match all three, "Show Name WEBRip" will match the first, but "Show Name WEBRip|WEB-DL" doesn't match anything. In fact I've tried several different search queries using the OR operator that ought to match torrents I can see are in my RSS feed and I can't get it to match any of them. It just consistently breaks the search expression.

Any ideas what's up?

After you switch to regex, you need to use regex for the rest of the command as well.
"Show Name WEBRip" - nothing will match that. (Only a String that's got exactly that name.)

For example you have to "match any character" after that WEBRip. Or before that.
You can test your regex here with sample filenames/torrent names: http://regexpal.com/

Try "Show Name WEB* 720p" (without parenthesis). That should work. At least should match anything that begins with "WEB". Or try "Show Name WEB[Rip|.DL] 720p".

Sorry, scrape that, it's "Show Name WEB*... 720p" I'm still learning. It seemed to work when I tried.

A regular expression wildcard is a dot char '.' not the asterix '*'and to match one or more characters is '.+' and '.*' is to match none or more.

so WEB.+ or WEB{Rip-DL}+ if you prefer to use a character class.
