Topfield v2.0 manual Pattern to match Possible matching programme titles

v2.0 user guide Page 16

7. The Series-Link Pattern Edit Screen

iGuide implements series links by creating patterns that match on to programmes in the EPG. Generally the defaults will match successfully, but the settings can be adjusted in this screen.

[RED]: After confirmation (by pressing [YELLOW]; any other key cancels) deletes the current series link and exits.

[GREEN]: ‘Refreshes’ the current pattern by removing any information regarding deleted recordings which match it. Use this if a pattern should be matching a programme but isn’t; alternatively, set a manual recording for the programme – it will automatically be picked up by the series.

[YELLOW]: Saves the current state of the series link and exits

[BLUE]: Exits without saving

Use [UP ARROW] and [DOWN ARROW] to scroll through the options. The available options are:

TITLE: The title of the programme to match against. Press [OK] to enter edit mode to change the title – see below.

The title can contain wildcards:

‘?’	matches any single character
‘*’	matches zero or more arbitrary characters
‘\’	matches the next character exactly, so allowing titles to include the characters
	‘?’ and ‘*’.

The title can contain multiple different patterns, separated by the bar (‘’) character.

Examples:
