[regexp] bug
I don't understand what the problem could be. I have a regex that works great on the regex builder site, but in my patch it doesn't work quite right, ignoring some matches.
Here's my regex: regexp (?<![A-Za-z0-9])[A-G][b#]?(?=(?:m(?:(?:aj|in)(?:or)?)?)?(?![A-Za-z]))
Here is the same expression and it works perfectly: https://regex101.com/r/kVOZyN/3

It's the capital M in the string that cause the rejection. Good luck though, i get nightmares and headaches from regexp so i'm sorry i can't be of more assistance. You do know what to look for now

Did u get that regexp from chatgpt by any chance? I mean, a normal person would just do this and start from there...

it is not possible to extract key from just any file name,
unless you set some naming rules.
examples you posted here had capital letters reserved for keys :
example
CLA_Ab_C9DhahaF#7Buggy ok ?.wav
what is the key ?
you think F# ?
why not Ab ? or B ?
>it is not possible to extract key from just any file name,

I typically make "brackets" of terms for a patch to look for.
For instance, I have a set of loops with predefined loop lengths.
these are all "awll2awll...wav", "loop4q3363something_awll4awll...wav "
I am dumb about file handling though - I could imagine a way to store all this as meta-data about a file in a separate dictionary, like a running db of your imported files.
luvulongtime Source Audio Wetterberg Thank you guys!
Yes, I actually started learning this using ChatGPT XD, but then the Stackoveflow community helped me, and now I'm here )
I understand that it's impossible to get this to work flawlessly, but maybe there would be a way to improve it a little, since the regex causes problems gives me a headache, although if figure it out, it’s not that difficult)
how many rules do you need to detect a key from unknown chars string ?
it is also common to name keys using small letters...
