Heuristic matching

Post by Link »

Can you please implement heuristic matching so files like these will be grouped together and highlighted?

Could use a command of "sameof:"

Code: Select all

Superman.and.Lois.S01E01.Pilot.720p.10bit.WEBRip.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.mkv
Superman.and.Lois.S01E02.Heritage.720p.10bit.WEBRip.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.mkv
Superman.and.Lois.S01E03.The.Perks.of.Not.Being.a.Wallflower.720p.10bit.WEBRip.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.mkv
Superman.and.Lois.S01E04.Haywire.720p.10bit.WEBRip.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.mkv

Not quite sure what you're looking for, but...
Everything | Options | General -> View --> Show highlighted search terms

might cover part of what you want.

Of course how that may play out would depend on your search terms & sorting...

Do you have any special rules or considerations you want to include? Here's a simple solution that might work for you.

This only works in v1.5+:
file:regex:"^(.*?)[. -]S\d\d" sort:regularexpressionmatch0


Defined: Search only files, for the regular expression pattern "strings that appear left of the letter S followed by 2+ a digit number" and then group these results together sorted by that pattern match.

In theory, you don't actually need
sort:regularexpressionmatch0
but you can expand on this to do more with that column later.

Maybe this works for you? :

Sort results by Name and search for
regex:S\d\dE\d\d
or
regex:.S\d\dE\d\d


(In the first one files like "S01E01 Some stuff.mkv" will also be found (starting with SnnEnn)

Could you please do a breakdown of the two terms? Thanks

Code: Select all

regex:S\d\dE\d\d
S - Matches letter S
\d - Matches a digit
E - Matches letter E
So it has S, two digits, E and two digits, for example S01E01

Code: Select all

regex:.S\d\dE\d\d
Very similar to previous one but it has . at the beginning.
. - Matches any character except for line terminators
