Regular expression in RSS downloader not working properly

If it does not work then it is a bug, I will make some testing and fix this tonight or tomorrow.

I used:
ubuntu*9* in matching

Typed "ubuntu.9.10" in the test field and hit the "Test" button. It says "Matches" here. This is odd because it is exactly the same example as you gave.

What version of Qt are you using? Could you make some more tests and determine what works and what does not?

Ok. I committed a fix to SVN. Now qBittorrent uses wildcard matching instead of full regex.

Wild card supports:
- *
- ?
- [abcd]

It should do exactly as you expect. With Full regex, you should input something like:
"ubuntu.?9" to match "ubuntu.9.10" (instead of simply "ubuntu?9" with wildcard)

The "." in a regex means "Any character".

The fix will be in v2.0.4 (that I should release in the next few days)

I did more tests:

(Match option -- result)[quote]What version of Qt are you using?[/quote]

sorry for a post above :) once again:

I'm seeing incorrect or rather incomplete regular expression behaviour in qBittorrent 2.1.5.
I'm trying to write a rule that will match a feed for "Lost" but not "The Lost Empire" normally I would just write a regular expression that started with a ^ to indicate that the expression must be at the start of the line. i.e. something like ^Lost would match "Lost" but not "The Lost Empire" I think that this used to work, but it doesn't seem to be working in this version.

Hmm. Yes, I'm aware. I'll try to have a look at regex support again when I get some spare time.

In the meantime, I suggest you specify the season number in the regex. For example
"Lost S06" will match anything with "LOST" AND "S06" inside.
