Title: What is the CLRMamepro Regex syntax?
Post by: adabo on 17 June 2017, 04:08

The only regex I found was the fnmatch python syntax. The link was broken on the help page, but google helped.

fnmatch has like 4 operators. I was hoping to do more robust expressions.

For now I would just be happy with some way to negate, eg. select %m=*nintendo* but NOT %d=*playchoice*

Thanks.

Well, yes, it's more a limited fnmatch than a full regual expression parser....and mixed up with variable usage...
hmm...a combined positive and negative list...tricky...tricky...have to think about it....(or add some support for != instead of = ;-)). For now you might limit the list first with the nintendo query and then manually by disabling the playchoice bios set for example.....

Which is approximately what I've been doing as a work around. Combining clrmamepro and Total Commander have worked out well enough. The draw back is tedium. Thank you for the reply. Nice to speak with a developer :)

Any thoughts about file/folder management? E.G, the possibility to split rom sets into folders using filters (Manufacturer, Year, Bios, etc ...).

Rebuilder -> Rebuilder Advanced -> Dest Prestring -> %m\

as an example to rebuild files to <your rebuilder destination>\ <the set's manufacturer>\ <the actual set> (folder or archive)
