I find myself always forget to change the topic title each time I post, The topic title mostly the 1st line of my post or in the format 1st line / 2nd line. I think it's good to have the feature that auto get the nth line (1st line or 1st/2nd line in my case) of the post to make it topic title

It already exists.

Under message menu (at the top) "Use first line as subject".

Hi, I just try it but there's problem. I normally use [center] to my post, and that make [center] my topic title not the first line after it.

There are two ways:

1. Don't use [center] tag in first line at all (remove the closing at the end as well).

Add in "CONFIG" -> "Replacements" -> "Message" replacement:

Search for:


Replace with:


Enable regex search.

This will automatically insert the [center] tag around whole post.

2. Don't enter new line after [center] tag. Have it like this:


Then add in "CONFIG" -> "Replacements" -> "Subject" replacement to just replace that [center] with nothing. Do NOT enable regex. That's not a regex search.

Hello Freddy,

can you please explain if the (?s)-part of the regex is some kind of hard-coded variable for the whole post text? I dealt quite some time with regex but I never have seen such a construction. And a $0 is also uncommon for a capture group, is it something unique to THP?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer.

Hi,

themaPoster uses Java based regex, but they are almost the same in all languages.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/ap ... ttern.html

(?s) - enables dotall mode. In dotall mode, the expression . (dot) matches any character, including a line terminator.

One more common flag which I use a lot is (?i) - enables case-insensitive matching.

They can be combined if needed like this: (?si) . These flags must be at the start of expression (before regular expression) if needed.

$0 is default capturing group for whole match.
