I'm using Windows XP with SP2 and BRU 2.2.8.0
I'm probably missing something but would like to to know if anyone else has had similar results using regexs with BRU 2.2.8.0.
For example a match pattern of (NGC ) and a repace pattern of \1 causes V 2.2.8.0 to flag every selected file as matched regardless of whether the match pattern is in the file name or not, drops the first character, and shows 4 characters as the replacement for renaming.
m57ring_hst_big.jpg becomes 57ri.jpg
NGC 1499 Cal Pers.jpg becomes GC 1.jpg
BRU 2.2.7.0 performs as expected matching the second file and renaming it as follows.
m57ring_hst_big.jpg will not be matched or changed and
NGC 1499 Cal Pers.jpg becomes "NGC "
Another example. A match pattern of (NGC )(\d{4}) and a replace pattern of \2 \1 causes BRU 2.2.8.0 to not flag any selected file name as matched even though the match pattern is in the file name. File name NGC 1499 Cal Pers.jpg should be matched but it is not. BRU 2.2.7.0 properly matches this file and makes the proper rename to 1499 NGC .jpg.
Can anyone help me on this problem?
Thanks in advance
