RSS RegEx for everyday shows

[A-Day]

what are some regex strings for shows that come on every night, like talk shows and the daily show. these shows usually have the date of the show in their names, but no S01Exx, so there's no smart history with dated shows.

it's more like,

The.Daily.Show.2010.03.23.HDTV.XviD-group

how do i set up a regex string so that it downloads every show after a date and not download duplicates? for example, i want to download every show that is released after 2010.03.23 and not download previous shows before that date.

thanks!

I can give you some Links on how to learn regular expressions...

Regular Expression Tutorial - Learn How to Use Regular Expressions
Regular Expression HOWTO

The regex coach is a nice tool to test regular expressions and experiment with them.

The Regex Coach - interactive regular expressions

Btw what tool do you use to interact with the RSS and the torrent downloading?
And a regex can be used there? Sounds very interesting!
I gonna read the link above, thx saebrtooth

If you have questions regarding the regex stuff just ask...
I know some basic stuff, but i think for that kind of task it should be enough...
Btw you can find it all in the Tutorials above.

There are like 3 rss plugins for rtorrent, will check that out:)
For example http://code.google.com/p/rssdler, it is compatible not only with rtorrent but with every torrent client that has something like a watch directory, and it supports regex.

i knew the basics of regex and thanks for the links and the regex coach app. now i just need some help with the day in the syntax. for example, let's say i wanted to only download for the days of 23-31.

The.Daily.Show.2010.03.23.HDTV.XviD-group

The.Daily.Show.(\d...).(\d.).(\d.).HDTV.

if i use ^this syntax it downloads every show. if i use this,

The.Daily.Show.(\d...).(\d.).(23-31).hdtv

it doesn't match. just need some help figuring out to download certain days rather than every day.

thanks!

btw, i use vuze extreme mod and rss feed scanner.

You can either use The.Daily.Show.2010.03.(23|31).HDTV.

That matches the Days 23 OR 31...
You can add another day by just adding |numer in the round brackets.


The more advanced stuff:
The.Daily.Show.2010.03.((2[3-9])|(3[0-1])).HDTV.

This matches the days 23 - 31...

You can do the same for month or year...
The round brackets do the grouping... - you can't do ranges with round brackets
The square brackets define a character range...
