criteria

[marcelfw]

Hi,

I use the latest Transmission Beta (1.80b3) and I'm wondering what exactly to the operators means when settings criteria in Groups? I looked everywhere on the internet because they seem standard "os x" criteria, but I can't find any advanced info on them, perhaps you can enlighten me?

I means, I understand "begins with" and "ends with", but does "contain" mean the string has to be found in the search string? or does it have to be exactly a word that has to be found. Same for "matches", I'm hoping it's a kind of regular expression, but I tried a pattern with '.' and it doesn't seem to work like that. Or is it case sensitive perhaps? Or maybe I did something completely wrong with it.

I'm hoping somebody can explain.

Thanks,
Marcel

• criterion - standard: a basis for comparison; a reference point against which other things can be evaluated;

Essentially it sets rules that Transmission uses to automatically put a torrent in a group. It doesn't accept regular expressions but "begins with" would be like a wild card after the string entered.

Code: Select all

Begins with: ban

This would match banana, bandana, bandera... etc. It would not match contraband. "contains" is like having wild cards both before and after the string. You can have Transmission compare the torrents by the file names, comments, or trackers. "is" is literal. I do not think it's case sensitive but I could be wrong.
