OTR Library
The library can be searched by program name or partial program name.
This search is not case sensitive. The programs names are prefixed with the
Genre
Codes which can be included in the search phrase.
For Example:
"CA:.*mys" will search for canadian mysteries.
You may also click on one of the twenty-four genres or the first letter of the program name.
To search individual episode titles by phrase or broadcast date, click on Episode Search.
Searches are made with regular expressions. Program names contain only letters A thru Z, Numbers 0 thru 9 and the colon. Therefore, special characters may be used to contruct regular expressions in the search box and will not be misinterpreted as part of a program name. Program names do not contain: / { } [ ] , | - . ? ! @ # % * \ " ' ~ or any non-alphanumeric character (except colon and space).
1. : Colon marks the beginning of a program name.
2. $ Dollar sign marks the end of the program name.
3. | vertical bar separates two phrases as an "or" operator.
4. [list] encloses a list of characters to be searched.
5. [^list] encloses a list of characters to be excluded from the search.
6. \b is a non-alphanumreic and can be used before and/or after a search phrase.
7. {n} repeats the preceeding character n or more times. Alternative {n,m} from n to m times.
Examples:
"John" finds John, Johnny and Johnson.
"Johnny Dol" finds "Yours Truly Johnny Dollar".
"\bJohn\b" finds John at the beginning, middle or end, but not Johnny.
":Power\b" finds Power at the beginning only but not Powerland.
"Years|Radio" finds Years or Radio.
