Regular Expression

[singularity~]

I'm trying to find two cases in a test string.

_Large and jpeg

Here is my string :

E:\Music Test Folder\Lamb of God\Wrath\AlbumArt_{F5969BAB-11BC-49E0-9B56-B6E9654204B7}_Large.jpeg

And here is my expression:

Match large = Regex.Match(file, @"^.*(_Large).(jpeg)$/i", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

I cannot get a match.

What am I doing wrong?

I dont think you need the '/i' at the end when you already have RegexOptions.IgnoreCase . The whole p

Try this out.

Match large = Regex.Match(file, @"^.*(_Large).(jpeg)$", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

I've tried that. Still not working.

Can you post the whole code?

what is the file variable holding?

[singularity~]

The variable is holding a file path string

Here is the code:

 public void processFiles(string path)
        {
            string[] files;
            string[] directories;

            files = Directory.GetFiles(path);
            foreach (string file in files)
            {
                ID3Reader r;
                Match m = Regex.Match(file, @"^.*\.(mp3|mpg)$", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
                if (m.Success)
                {
                    r = new ID3Reader(file);

                    string _songName = c.toString(r.getSongName());
                    string _artistName = c.toString(r.getArtistName());
                    string _albumName = c.toString(r.getAlbumName());
                    string _songPath = r.getSongPath();

                    Dispatcher.Invoke((Action)(() => artistName.Content = _artistName));
                    Dispatcher.Invoke((Action)(() => songName.Content = _songName));
                    Dispatcher.Invoke((Action)(() => albumName.Content = _albumName));

                    q.insertSong(_artistName, _albumName, _songName, _songPath);
                }
                Match small = Regex.Match(file, @"^.*(_Small).(jpeg)$", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
                if (small.Success)
                {
                    continue;
                }
                Match large = Regex.Match(file, @"^.*(_Large).(jpeg)$",  RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
                if (large.Success)
                {

                }
            }
            directories = Directory.GetDirectories(path);
            foreach (string directory in directories)
            {
                processFiles(directory);
            }
        }

I'm getting a match here, not sure why you aren't (using your example from the first post and the code from the last post).

[tinstaafl]

Maybe the problem isn't the match but the code once there is a match. What you submitted doesn't show any code.

[singularity~]

I can't submit anymore code. I think my code clearly states what I'm trying to accomplish. The file variable is passed a string with a absolute path. I am trying to determine if it is a small image or a large image. I have been trying to get my regular expression to test the string. So far I have had no luck other than getting a online expression evaluator (Rubular) to confirm my expression. WPF on the other hand does not accept my expression. I am hoping someone can help me figure out why. Thanks.

Put a breakpoint at line 31 and see what is actually in file.

[tinstaafl]

Just a thought. Are the image files really saved as '.jpeg'? I've looked on my system and all the album art ones I can find are '.jpg'. If this is the case, on yours too, your expression won't find anything.

In looking at your code, I can't help wondering if you're trying to use a sledge hammer to crack a walnut. consider the following. It does the same thing with fewer line of code.

            foreach (string file in Files)
            {
                if(file.Contains(".mp3")||files.Contains(".mpg"))
                {
                    r = new ID3Reader(file);
                    string _songName = c.toString(r.getSongName());
                    string _artistName = c.toString(r.getArtistName());
                    string _albumName = c.toString(r.getAlbumName());
                    string _songPath = r.getSongPath();
                    Dispatcher.Invoke((Action)(() => artistName.Content = _artistName));
                    Dispatcher.Invoke((Action)(() => songName.Content = _songName));
                    Dispatcher.Invoke((Action)(() => albumName.Content = _albumName));
                    q.insertSong(_artistName, _albumName, _songName, _songPath);
                }
                else if(file.Contains("_Small.jpg"))
                {

                }
                else if(file.Contains("_Large.jpg"))
                {

                }
            }

@tinstaafl. The file was saved as .jpg
