^.* Tycoon( [0-9]+)?

They're all awesome for exactly one day. Last night I played lemonade Tycoon until 4am, where I was making more than 1,000 a day...

I loved the roller coaster tycoon series. Played those for so long.

By the way, I like the regular expression you have there.

[chrisinajar]

Well, I needed to match all of them. I figured it was the most effective way to do it.

what if you changed the last part from

Code: [Select]

([0-9]+)?
to

Code: [Select]

{0-9]*
That should match zero or more numbers to handle sim-magnitude numbers of sequals.

Correct, but not what I was going for. I needed the space to be optional in addition to the numbers, (also you did a { instead of a [) You're method would result in

Code: [Select]

^.* Tycoon ?[0-9]*which I like less. Also, + matches 1 or more, so it would also match the high magnitude sequels.

Yep, I had forgotten the space. You need to use a * rather than a + to handle games without a sequel number after them. Like Rollercoaster Tycoon.

No, because the question mark, making the previous item optional, is after the parenthesis making the space and number optional, but always needed together... It would match "Roller Coaster Tycoon" but not "Roller Coaster Tycoon "...
