Album volume to discnumber action (general method using regexp)

[dev91618]

Hello and thanks. This is working except when the digits are followed by comma colon or brackets. I tried to navigate through include a strategy that after encountering the required digits, when first non-digits are encountered, the expression stops looking and return. But I haven't had success owing to my extremely limited knowledge of regex.

@Crissov

If the trailing dot is actually optional, you need to add a question mark in the proper place.

$regexp(%album%,^.*\bVol(?:\.|ume)?\s*(\d+).*$,$1)

Hello again.

If somehow this regex

@Crissov

$regexp(%album%,^.*\bVol(?:\.|ume)?\s*(\d+).*$,$1)

can also take care of cases when the volume number is proceeded by bracket, comma, semi-clon, or colon (actually anything that's not a digit) it would be perfect. Thanks a lot.

Vol 5,

It already does, though. You can add them explicitly, but please note that it is very cumbersome to match paired parentheses in regular expressions.

$regexp(%album%,^.*\(?Vol(?:\.|ume)?\s*(\d+)[,:)]?.*$,$1)
