I am stuck on discogs web result page  
I am doing a script and I would like to display the format when it is on a line.  
Format always start with "Format: "  
findinline "Format: " 1 1

Now I would like to use sayregexp function  
I started with something like

sayregexp "[^(...)]_(?=(...))" ""  
but that's bad  
I tried something like  
sayregexp "._(?=...)" ""  
Because sometimes it is follow by three dots. ...

Sometime it is follow byt 3 dost "..." sometimes it is follow by "\<", but other text could be follow with the same signs. Just the first reg result should be display.

I hope somebody could help and I am enough clear. Find attached a source file. The sayregexp is on line 76.[discogs\_album\_ext5.src](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/ec6e796ddcfcadeb98eb48f19eb3866ab525bde8.src) (11.6 KB)
