I also create a {version} variable for all downloads as I display the version in the custom column, but, more importantly I use it for my personal file renaming scheme preferences (i.e. 7-Zip_setup_v4.64.exe instead of 7z464.exe). Florian... as for the need to create a global variable {truncate}... in this case I needed the {version} variable for the custom renaming scheme and the {truncate} to feed to Ketarin for the ever changing URL... seemed simpler this way to me, however I may be confused ;-)

Florian, Is it possible to add a "User-contributed Regular Expressions Tutorial and/or Solutions" section to the forum for users to share their regex solutions to a specific difficult download situation that they have encountered or tutorial overviews that could increase the average user's application of regular expressions in Ketarin? It would possibly make it easier for users to find solutions targeted at regex usage integration questions. Also, I have spent many hours creating a "categorized downloads directory structure" .ZIP file and a "custom Ketarin Jobs.db file" with nearly 200 entries using this downloads directory structure that I would love to share with any user that is interested if it is possible to create a forum category for such a purpose (configuration sharing) and provide the bandwidth. THANKS for your consideration!

THANKS Florian... worked like a charm... I created a global variable {truncate} , parsed the version page and extracted the 154.42 portion of the version number using regex \d\.\d\.([\d\.]+) Is creating the global variable {truncate} going to conflict with embedded variables? Also, do you plan to add a "drop-down menu" of existing variables when the "+ button" is clicked in the "Edit Variables" dialog in the future? This would decrease the amount of repetitive typing... Again, THANKS!!

I LOVE YOUR PROGRAM :-) I am a techno-geek that has been at it since the Motorola 6800 in the late 70's and I have amassed over 12 years of downloads. Since my skills are predominantly of the hardware and configuration variety, I have needed (and wanted) a program like this for a VERY LONG time! THANK YOU Florian for making my life SO much more efficient!! I would like to help in Ketarin's testing in any way I can, so, here is my first situation: Google Chrome Installer: http://dl.google.com/chrome/install/{version:replace:1.0.:}/chrome_installer.exe The version is 1.0.154.42, however, the URL truncates this to 154.42 in the portion above so while my solution of {version:replace:1.0.:} will work in the short term, it will fail when the version hits 1.1. (or another). Since I am not very strong regarding regex, I was wondering if anyone has a more long term solution to this? Again, THANKS!
