Hi Rolf

Thanks for that, I’ll give it a try later today.

Hi, I’ve found a regex that works, and is giving me the the names including spaces:

$q{s,^.*([a-zA-Z0-9s]+)_([a-zA-Z0-9s]+)_([a-zA-Z0-9s]+)$,$1,}

The strange thing is that even though the folder is named
AB001_Project Name_Client Name

I get project and client in $2 $3 respectively, but $1 only ever returns a number.
In the above example it returns 1

I’m really starting to lose my mind with this, and would appreciate any insights!

Thanks

Hi Bryson

It’s not the file that’s named in that format, but the folder, sorry if that wasn’t clear from the original post.

ie
/ingest/0001_snowman_peter/file1.mov
/ingest/0001_snowman_peter/file2.mov

hence the need to do a regex on $q, the parent folder name.

Hi Bryson

Thanks for your reply, I’ve now configured two separate jobs, one for transcode and the second to add to the database.

I thought I was using the $1, $2, $3 variables as shown above….
My understanding of that regex is extract the text between the start and the 1st _ into $1 and then that will place it in the jobid field.
Maybe I’m missing something in your reply?
