RS Auto Advanced: Not record a program in a series base on the series ID in the synopsis.

I wish to not record series 1 & 2 of Agatha Christie's Marple. The below does not removed them from the returned matches.




If the synopsis list contains just S1 it removes that series.

In the synopsis help screen it says:

'[no operator] implies OR'

As I'm obviously misinterpreting that to mean a space between S1 & S2, how can the desired outcome be achieved?

 

[prpr]

!(S1 || S2) = !S1 && !S2
So use: "And: Synopsis does not match S1", "And: Synopsis does not match S2"

And I think you mean "based" not "base".

So under what circumstances would the OR operator be used? Could you provide an example?

You could use synopsis does match S3 S4 S5 S6

Well I tried to do it and couldn't get it to work

When combining alternatives into one row you need to treat the alternatives as regular expressions otherwise it checks if the whole synopsis is just "S1" or "S2". This can be achieved by adding the wild card character "*".

Executing both the following, they both identify just the series 3 programme.

Although I think I understand what you are saying, when I actually try it I can't make it work, despite expecting it to work. Have you a tested, working, example you could post?
