Question about RSS feed filter....

[renegade]

While I am sure its not the most desired way, and I am still working on figuring out regular expressions, I would like to know why for example *.196*.* won't filter out 1961 (or anything from 1960-1969) ? I obviously would like to filter out specific years. Even putting in specifically 1961, to reject, doesnt work.

Is there a simpler way to do it in sabnzbd ?

Does sabnzbd need restarted after a filter change (I dont belive that to be the case) ?

When you want to use regular expressions, you need to prefix the filter with re:
Otherwise you will only have a basic wildcard expression.
So, in you case you would need this:
re:196[0-9]

Understood about regular expressions, my question is why when I use for example 1961 in filters and set to reject, it still allows it to be accepted?

The order of the filters is important.
The "Reject" filters must come before the "Accept" filters.
Evaluation stops as soon as the first filter triggers.
