From the end of the name?
So why do you remove chars from the beginning then?
Just give me an example of how the output for your two examples should look like and I'll give you the answer
Code: Select all
the.subtitle.S03E04.ar.srt
the.subtitle.S03E04.en.srt
Output?

It isn't necessary to take ar / en into account, the match for the series+episodes is relevant.

smart method to handle episodes renaming
but not all series have this sequence in the name ٍ"S00e00" sometimes it maybe 1×1
so I have 2 scripts the first keeps characters form the beginning and the 2nd keeps them from the end.
see i can keep characters from name beginning without affecting subtitle Lang (ar or en)
Code: Select all
^(.{18})(.*(?=.en|.ar.))(.+) > $1$3
possible to apply above method to keep characters form end?
if not ,could you please make your scripts keep the letters before "S00e00" to be like that "Bates.Motel.S03E04" and thanks

English isn't my main language and it's hard for me to grasp what you want exactly.
sometimes it maybe 1×1
What does that even mean?
Why don't you post all that different episode names (different = some use a subtile language identifier, some have the full "sxxexx" pattern, some the "1x1"?) and at same time post what a regexreplace should leave as the final name for each of them.
Patterns that use (){xx} to gather a specific number of characters are (mostly) too limited to be used on a wider base of source patterns.
The best way to handle all names would be a script that looks into the name, checks if there is a common pattern (like the exxsxx or a ".ar.|.en." etc.) and chooses the best regexreplace automatically. No "keep characters at the beginning or at the end".

my poor english prevents me clarifying my point in an optimal way so -as you suggested - I'll put an example
Code: Select all
Bates Motel 02×10.720p.HDTV.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.mp4
Bates Motel 02×10.720p.HDTV.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.ar.srt
Bates Motel 02×10.720p.HDTV.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.en.srt
Code: Select all
Bates Motel 02×10.mp4
Bates Motel 02×10.ar.srt
Bates Motel 02×10.en.srt
keep [Bates Motel] [×0-9]

Edit: Shortened the regex a bit more...
Code: Select all
^(.*?)([ES0-9]{6}|[0-9]+(?:x|\xD7)[0-9]+)(.*?)((?:\.ar|\.en)?\.[^.]+)$ > $1$2$4
(?:x|\xD7)
Your examples use an unicode char "×" (and not the latin "x"), hence this expression.
Turns:
Code: Select all
Bates Motel 2×1.720p.HDTV.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.mp4
Bates Motel 2x0.720p.HDTV.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.en.srt
Bates Motel 02×10.720p.HDTV.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.mp4
Bates Motel 02×10.720p.HDTV.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.ar.srt
Bates Motel 02x10.720p.HDTV.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.en.srt
Bates Motel S02E10.720p.HDTV.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.mp4
Bates Motel S02E10.720p.HDTV.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.ar.srt
Bates Motel S02E10.720p.HDTV.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.en.srt
into:
Code: Select all
Bates Motel 2×1.mp4
Bates Motel 2x0.en.srt
Bates Motel 02×10.mp4
Bates Motel 02×10.ar.srt
Bates Motel 02x10.en.srt

Why not? Same regex engine...
This doesn't make much sense in a search, this pattern was used for a search +
replace because (?:...) means: don't capture it into a backreference...
