[ACCEPTED]-Regex for matching season and episode-regex
Regex
Here is the regex using named groups:
S(?<season>\d{1,2})E(?<episode>\d{1,2})
Usage
Then, you 1 can get named groups (season and episode) like this:
string sample = "Stargate.SG-1.S01E08.iNT.DVDRip.XviD-LOCK.avi";
Regex regex = new Regex(@"S(?<season>\d{1,2})E(?<episode>\d{1,2})");
Match match = regex.Match(sample);
if (match.Success)
{
string season = match.Groups["season"].Value;
string episode = match.Groups["episode"].Value;
Console.WriteLine("Season: " + season + ", Episode: " + episode);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("No match!");
}
Explanation of the regex
S // match 'S'
( // start of a capture group
?<season> // name of the capture group: season
\d{1,2} // match 1 to 2 digits
) // end of the capture group
E // match 'E'
( // start of a capture group
?<episode> // name of the capture group: episode
\d{1,2} // match 1 to 2 digits
) // end of the capture group

Using 2 that, here's the regex you'd want:
S\d\dE\d\d
You can 1 do lots of fancy tricks beyond that though!
Take a look at some of the media software 2 like XBMC they all have pretty robust regex 1 filters for tv shows
The regex I would put for S[NUMBER1]E[NUMBER2] is 1
S(\d\d?)E(\d\d?) // (\d\d?) means one or two digit
You can get NUMBER1 by <matchresult>.group(1), NUMBER2 by <matchresult>.group(2).
I would like to propose a little more complex 13 regex. I don't have ". : - _" because 12 i replace them with space
str_replace(
array('.', ':', '-', '_', '(', ')'), ' ',
This is the capture 11 regex that splits title to title season 10 and episode
(.*)\s(?:s?|se)(\d+)\s?(?:e|x|ep)\s?(\d+)
e.g. Da Vinci's Demons se02ep04 9 and variants https://regex101.com/r/UKWzLr/3
The only case that i can't 8 cover is to have interval between season 7 and the number, because the letter s or 6 se is becoming part if the title that does 5 not work for me. Anyhow i haven't seen such 4 a case, but still it is an issue.
Edit: I 3 managed to get around it with a second line
$title = $matches[1];
$title = preg_replace('/(\ss|\sse)$/i', '', $title);
This 2 way i remove endings on ' s' and ' se' if 1 name is part of series
