Check if string is within variable

[Ruby101-was-taken]

Hi
I was working on my own window switching system but I have hit a roadblock. I have a variable which holds the window title and when that changes, it updates another variable which is used to update the window captures in my scene.
However, some window names change and this means they can't be checked as easy.

EG Visual Studio Code will be named something like [FileName] - [Project Name] - Visual Studio Code.

With a name like that it can't be pre-programmed since the file name and project name may change, so I tried to check if the term "Visual Studio Code" is included in the window name, but I have had no success in doing it. If I hardcode the name it works so it is just trying to figure out this step!

This is what I tried

Using OBS 31.1.2 and Advance Scene Switcher 1.29.3

Assuming the variable value is indeed matching the given pattern I don't see a reason why this would not work.
Have you tried using the tools listed here to narrow down what the problem might be?

I'm not sure which one of those would help, but I can see that the macro is not executing since when I enable the highlights it doesn't turn green.

If I change it to just be the name of the window and disable regular expressions it works fine.

(This works):

and I would keep it like that but changing file in visual studio code means that this no longer works, so I need to just check the ending

I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on my end, unfortunately.
I was using the most recent release however.
Would it be an option for you to upgrade?
Do any regular expressions work for you?

[Ruby101-was-taken]

I can try update yes.
Did actually downgrade cuz I was having some crash issues on the newest stable build, but those same crashes happened on this version. I shall give it a try and come back with the results

[Ruby101-was-taken]

I updated to 1.31.0, and disabled "Enable Qt's ExtendedPatternSyntax" (This wasn't always turned on but I was testing with this on and off) and now it works as expected!
Thank you!

That's great to hear!
Feel free to open up an issue if you encounter the crash again / if you still have the crash log!
