It added 1840 radio programmes to the cache. As far as I could see
from a visual inspection scrolling through the newly created
radio.cache file all the programmes were from Radio 4, Radio 4 Extra
and the World Service when joined with Radio 4.
`--refresh-include' takes a comma-separated list of case-insensitive
regexps, from looking at the `channels_filtered' subroutine,
so «--refresh-include '^BBC Radio 4$'» should cut out the `Extra'.
(The regexp is quoted for Unix.)
There should be a `INFO: Will refresh channel...' verbose log message
for each channel that makes it through.
Hi Ralph
Taking your last point first, the verbose messages are not very helpful
because they are accompanied by a lot of messages about the schedule
pages. Curiously for --refresh-include "radio 4" I get
INFO: Will refresh channel BBC Radio 4
INFO: Will refresh channel BBC Radio 4
INFO: Will refresh channel BBC Radio 4 Extra
Are you saying the onus is on the user to insert ^ and $ in a regex to
suppress greedy matching? In the case of a search argument the
documentation requires a regex. There is no similar requirement for
--refresh-include. My view is that if the programmer chooses to use a
regex there it is up to him or her to construct the regex.
My first attempt was --refresh-include radio4. Nothing was found. I
concluded I had to match the channel name exactly as "BBC Radio 4". I
was therefore surprised to have "BBC Radio 4 Extra" matched as well. As
I have said above, --refresh-include "radio 4" does work while
--refresh-include "radio4" does not. The regex needs to be further
modified to allow zero or more spaces between radio and 4.
These are fairly minor issues. A more important question is do you
agree that in order for --refresh-include to work it has to be
accompanied by --refresh-exclude-groups national,regional,local?
Best wishes
Richard
