RSS feeds: no wildcard at start still interpreted as wildcard

[MiG]

i.e. something.*.HDTV.XviD* seems to be interpreted as *something.*.HDTV.XviD*, resulting in SABnzbd occasionally downloading things it shouldn't - especially series with a single common word as the title.

Note: I *just* installed 0.5.1 RC1, but the changelog doesn't mention anything like this, so I assume it's still there

Yes it is.
If you don't want that you'll have to use a real regular expression.
See: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-rss-v2 section "Regular expressions".

Didn't realise that! For reference:

re:^something.something.*HDTV.XviD.*

Would be nice if a future version interprets the lack of a non-regex wildcard at the start, the same way it interprets the lack of one at the end, though

No, because it's been like this since we introduced RSS feeds (two years ago).
If we change that, people's current filters would suddenly start acting different.
