Regex help to filter only 720p

Question

I'd like to setup auto download of some Anime using an RSS feed, but only 720p versions. The format never changes and it always looks like below.

[Blahblah] Blahepisode - 12 [720p].mkv

Here is the regex I have come up with but cannot get to work properly.

/.\+[720p]+/g

Any help would be appreciated!

Your `.\+[720p]+` matches any char, then a `+`, then 1 or more chars, `7`, `2`, `0` or `p`. Do you want to match `[720]` with regex? Should it match the whole string? — Wiktor Stribiżew, Sep 23 '18 at 14:45
ruTorrent RSS Manager that allows to filter and exclude. Also trying to match [720p] so that it downloads just that so I don't get [1080p] versions as well. — slimsubs, Sep 23 '18 at 14:47
Just escape `[`, `]`, and remove everything else and you're good: `/\[720p\]/` — Alex Shesterov, Sep 23 '18 at 14:57

Assuming you have lines that look like your example, it will be mached with the following Regex:

.+(?:\[720p\].mkv)

It maches one or more chacacters at start, followed by '[720p].mkv'.

Note that the Square brackets are escaped to '\[' and '\]', otherwise they have special meaning.

if you only need '[720p]' then you can use:

\[720p\]
