Hi everyone,
I'm a complete newbie in programming, so please don't kick me too hard :-)
I have a few hundreds of DVD archives on HDDs (VIDEO_TS folders), each of them (of course) located in a folder with a bi-lingual name. The structure of each folder's name is as follows: title in russian [title in english].
The problem is that IMDB scraper doesn't automatically process folder names, thus making me type the corresponding title manually, which is quite annoying.
I'm trying to modify IMDB scraper to "read" only the part of the name between [] (i.e. english titles only), but with no success. As far as I could understand from scrapers FAQs, the RegExp for the task should read something like /[*/]. The main and most frustrating problem is that I can't understand where exactly I should put this expression inside CreateSearchUrl section of the scraper (if inside this section at all...)
I'd be very grateful for any advice.
