I'm using a trade script to transfer files between 2 FTP servers. Part of it is as follows:




Now, the problem is that on site1 the %rl = $2 is picking up a release including the 'TV+' part as the irc string is as follows:

TV+The.First.48.S12E10.720p.HDTV.x264-MOMENTUM

So when the release name is picked up, it looks for the complete string, not just the actual release name: The.First.48.S12E10.720p.HDTV.x264-MOMENTUM

How do I tell the script to ignore the 'TV+' part in the var %rl = $2 variable?

$replace(%rl,TV+,$null)

Thanks ProoN,

Do I just replace

var %rl = $2

with

$replace(%rl,TV+,$null)?

Apologies. Try that.

Thanks!

Now to wait and see if it works


Grrr .. it's actually TV+/

So I guess var %rl = $replace($2,TV+/,$null) is correct?

You could try that, although I personally try to avoid using slashes or commas within an identifier. I've found that it sometimes makes things sketchy. I, instead, generally use the $chr equivalent, ie



See if that works.

Even better, thanks.

Also, taking these releases as an example:

The.First.48.S12E10.720p.HDTV.x264-MOMENTUM
The.First.48.S12.Update.Special.05.HDTV.x264-MOMENTUM

How do I ignore the '720p' release if I'm using



and only trade HDTV.x264-MOMENTUM?

Are you implying there are two results you're trying to get the script to distinguish between?


where within the brackets, { and } are where you'd execute the command, of course

Damn, constantly editing this. Trying to make it more generic rather than specific to those single titles

Yes, the two examples are both HDTV, but one is standard HDTV, the other 720p HDTV.



The problem is that the above will match 720p.HDTV.x264-MOMENTUM and HDTV.x264-MOMENTUM

So how I would tell the script to ignore the 720p bit where necessary?

Thanks Loki



Would trade

The.First.48.S12.Update.Special.05.HDTV.x264-MOMENTUM

but skip

The.First.48.S12E10.720p.HDTV.x264-MOMENTUM

... right?

Nice and tidy ProoN, thanks

To confirm: that will NOT trade 720p, right?

ie line 3 ignores the 720p part?

(*720p* !iswm $2) is what ignores the 720p part. That little bit checks to see if "720p" ISN'T in the $2, and if it isn't, continues on with the code.

Line 3 replaces the TV+/ with "$null" (or .. nothing, essentially) and sets THAT result to %rl. Could have easily just used $remove, but eh, there are many ways to accomplish the same thing. Hopefully that works, though

Very nice indeed. Just waiting to see if it works!

One question though: which version is correct:



or

Well, if you want it to check for only the HDTV.x264-MOMENTUM part, it'd be



But if you wanted it to check for both HDTV.x264-MOMENTUM and the The.First.48.S12 parts, it'd be



Neither of those will do anything if 720p is anywhere within the titles, which is what you're wanting.. I think. hah

Yes, I only want it to trade HDTV.x264-MOMENTUM - and skip the 720p versions.





720p is in the titles .. that's why I want to skip it.

So the above will skip any release with 720p in the title, right?

First one should ultimately be what you're wanting.. I think(?). But they both ignore anything with "720p" in it, yes

I have a further question ProoN:



How do I change that to match HDTV.x264-MOMENTUM anywhere in the irc announce string .. not just in 'position' $2 ?

You can indicate the token range like so:$2-5 means $2, $3, $4, and $5, respectively.

Thanks!

How can I do the same to ensure this part matches anywhere from 2 - 5:

var %rl = $2-5

Perfect, thanks!
