OK, trying to sort a file of movie titles. This is where I got to:
Sort using pattern: ^(the|A|An|\d+)?\.?\s+?(.*)$ Given input like this: All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) 05 In Washington (1943).avi 04. The Chimp (1932) Almost.Famous (2000) The 39 Steps (1935).avi 01 The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939) The Gods Must Be Crazy 06 The Hoose-Gow (1929) The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) I want to at least get to: The 39 Steps (1935).avi All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) Almost.Famous (2000) 05 In Washington (1943).avi 04. The Chimp (1932) 06 The Hoose-Gow (1929) 01 The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939) The Gods Must Be Crazy The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) Which I thought the pattern above would do, but it doesn't This would be ideal: The 39 Steps (1935).avi All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) Almost.Famous (2000) 04. The Chimp (1932) 05 In Washington (1943).avi The Gods Must Be Crazy The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) 06 The Hoose-Gow (1929) 01 The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939) -- 'You make us want what we can't have and what you give us is worth nothing and what you take is everything and all there is left for us is the cold hillside, and emptiness, and the laughter of the elves.' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
