Matching TV and Movie File names with Regex

Question

I\'ve been working on getting a regular expression to grab the TV Show or Movie name, the year it was aired if it exist, the season #and the episode # from the file name of a vi

Answer 1

if i may, i adapted brian's regex to match something like

SHOW.NAME.201X.SXXEXX.XSUB.VOSTFR.720p.HDTV.x264-ADDiCTiON.mkv

here it is (PHP PCRE)

/^(
    (?P.*[^ (_.]) # Show name
        [ (_.]+
        ( # Year with possible Season and Episode
            (?P\d{4})
            ([ (_.]+S(?P\d{1,2})E(?P\d{1,2}))?
        | # Season and Episode only
            (?\d{1,2})E(?P\d{1,2})
        )
|
        # Show name with no other information
        (?P.+)
