@Anne-Laure we should have asked you for those files from the beginning! That would have made helping you out a lot easier all along :)
Those instructions for regex use one of the other three variables that I mentioned, tv-get-export-link instead of tv-filter-export-link, which requires javascript. You can mix and match both approaches but then it can be a little tricky to ensure that both always return the exact same filenames and corresponding links. This may not be an issue, but there is a chance it might cause problems at some point. Basically its a case of making sure the filter in tv-filter-export-link does the exact same thing as the javascript. With the way I outlined, you use the same filters for both and there is no javascript involved, so there are no chances of such issues. Or alternatively one could write another javascript macro that defines the url variable, using the same javascript logic. For a non-developer I think the non-javascript based approach will be easiest in the long run.
