Basis expression

Still just a little confuse about filters.

What about filters in R4.0 filename spaces and numbers such as:


keep it simple 02.avi
keep it simple 03.avi


How do you account for the spaces and number when setting up a filter?

You can bracket spaces, or put the entire string in parenthesis. So you could use either

keep[ ]it[ ]simple[ ][0-9][0-9]\.avi

or

(keep it simple )[0-9][0-9]\.avi

The first yes. Don't know about the second. Did you test this?
