hi, I added some CDs before I remembered that I had a musicbrainz account, and I am wondering how I can find those edits I submitted anonymously now?

if you know which CDs you added you can look at their edit histories

one of the CDs I can't find, so i guess it didn't get accepted
2010-03-16 07546, 2010

and another is an australian version of an existing release, where the aus release had 2 extra tracks

Added anonymously? Do you refer to CD Stubs?
2010-03-16 07548, 2010
KRSCuan
Because you can't edit anything else without a MB account

KRSCuan: I'm not sure. it just came up in Sound Juicer in ubuntu, and I clicked "submit this info", and then on the musicbrainz site it tells you you can create an account or submit it the "simple" way, so i did the simple way
2010-03-16 07509, 2010
KRSCuan
The "simple way" is adding a CD Stub
2010-03-16 07551, 2010
KRSCuan
I'm afraid you can only search them based on their title or artist.
2010-03-16 07522, 2010
KRSCuan
If one of them wasn't accepted, that may be because we already have a DiscID (or another CD Stub) for the same CD
2010-03-16 07519, 2010
pfctdayelise
so should it come up in the search? because it doesn't
2010-03-16 07541, 2010
KRSCuan
Do you search for CD stubs?
2010-03-16 07505, 2010
KRSCuan
Which releases are we dealing with?

"Kicking Indifference" by The Pictures was one
2010-03-16 07502, 2010
pfctdayelise
I just put it in again and since I am logged in, i guess, it found a cd stub
2010-03-16 07521, 2010
pfctdayelise
cd stubs don't come up in the search? are they like waiting to be accepted?

I'm not sure whether they can be looked up by clients like Picard or using the FreeDB gateway, but they aren't in the main database until they are imported by a registered user.
As part of cleaning up the ARs, I've attempted to reconcile and merge together all the different compiling, DJ mixing, mastering, mixing, remastering, remixing, and sampling terms, rather than having half of them redefined in each AR.
The only way to add a release to an existing release group is to go there and click on "Add release".
2010-03-16 07519, 2010
KRSCuan
It's a bit clumsy because release groups were only added last year, but the code for other edits wasn't changed that much.
2010-03-16 07536, 2010
KRSCuan
But you can merge the new release group into the existing one.

In case anyone is interested. I've not done attributes yet, but I've checked each AR against wiki, its proposal, and the server. Here's every AR we have (or should have), graphically: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/User:BrianSchweitzer/…
i based that off of the rreplace line in the documentation example (that removes feat. artist from the title)
2010-03-16 07536, 2010
Quantum[Nugget]
i did some testing with $if, and as far as i can tell, rsearch is not returning anything with that line
2010-03-16 07515, 2010

Hmm. Looks to me like you haven't actually specified any groups to match.
2010-03-16 07553, 2010
Quantum[Nugget]
i thought this: \\s\\\(feat. [^\)]+\\\)
2010-03-16 07558, 2010
Quantum[Nugget]
was the group its supposed to match
2010-03-16 07512, 2010
Leftmost
So that'll match a string, but it has no groups, per se. I'm not sure how to explain it well, but you need to group things by surrounding them with parentheses.
2010-03-16 07542, 2010
Quantum[Nugget]
(\\s\\\(feat. [^\)]+\\\))
2010-03-16 07544, 2010
Quantum[Nugget]
like that?
2010-03-16 07553, 2010
Quantum[Nugget]
so the whole command would be:
2010-03-16 07559, 2010

Well, I'm guessing you only want to pull out the artist name, right?
i have my script looking for those parts before and after in the comment
2010-03-16 07551, 2010
Quantum[Nugget]
so (feat. gets replaced with Featuring
2010-03-16 07556, 2010

and ) gets replaced with a .

Try escaping them with \

I'm not sure, haven't tried to use regex in picard.

k
2010-03-16 07541, 2010
Quantum[Nugget]
whats confusing me is its not working the same as rreplace
2010-03-16 07557, 2010
Quantum[Nugget]
i figured rreplace was just rsearch with the replacing functionality ended
2010-03-16 07542, 2010
Leftmost
Quantum[Nugget], it helps to be familiar with how regular expressions work outside of picard. Usually a match, the equivalent of rsearch, will just return true if something matches the string.
2010-03-16 07558, 2010
Leftmost
You can get specific parts of the string, however, by grouping them.
2010-03-16 07507, 2010
Leftmost
The parentheses, essentially.
2010-03-16 07542, 2010
Quantum[Nugget]
k, ill do some reading on regular expressions
2010-03-16 07500, 2010
Quantum[Nugget]
i think escaping parenthesis just adds that to the string its searching for
2010-03-16 07509, 2010
Quantum[Nugget]
thanks for your help, im going to read the link on regular expressions
2010-03-16 07512, 2010
Quantum[Nugget]
to make sure im understanding what you said,
2010-03-16 07547, 2010
Quantum[Nugget]
my command might be working, but rsearch is basically just saying "yeah, i found that" instead of actually handing it off, with substituions, to the $set function?
2010-03-16 07553, 2010
Leftmost
Without knowing the internals better, I can't say for sure, but I bet it's passing it off to the regular expression engine and then waiting for the engine to send back groups, where the engine is just being like "yep, that matches".
2010-03-16 07514, 2010
Quantum[Nugget]
i'm not sure if you'd be able to help me here, because you mentioned you dont know the internals
