I'm running a Perl script that someone else wrote for me, and I've noticed that the following regex doesn't seem to match my files which are named "Film CD 1.avi", "Film2 CD 1.avi", etc.:
$name = (split (/[ ]*CD[ ]*1/i, $in_avi))[0];
Does anyone know what I need to do to correct it?
The full code is this:
#!/usr/bin/perl

The script is from http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1128384-batch-file-to-run-command-on-joining-video-files by xorangekiller.
The backslash in $MOVIE_IN_PATH is being removed by interpolating it into the regular expression. Change both the split commands to
$name = (split(/\Q$MOVIE_IN_PATH\E[\\\/]{1}/i, $name))[1];
i.e. add the \Q ... \E to escape any regex metacharacters.
Your friend doesn't appear to be a particularly good Perl programmer. You may want to try this code instead.
