This regexp is crashing Picard and it is driving me crazy... $set(lastword,$rsearch(%title%,\\\(|\\s\([^\\s]+\)\\\)\$))

I'm trying to get the last word of the ETI in a title.

Cheezmo (IRC): you might want to ask over in #musicbrainz-picard-dev

vaclovas.: please see https://musicbrainz.org/edit/124267194 :) (you do seem to be overusing primary alias quite a bit recently)

Not a huge deal, but still, many of your correct aliases probably should not be primary aliases

Cheezmo (IRC): I wonder if you need to include brackets around the two optional choices at the start? Perhaps an alternative might be `$set(lastword,\([^\(\\s]+\)\\\)\$)`

It seems to work here when I tested it.

I think the problem is that rsearch is buggy, where it returns the contents of the first group even when it's None, which causes an error somewhere else down the line

Cheezmo: Ok, when you try to set lastword to None, you unset it. So, depending on the full context, that might be why it's crashing

Cheezmo (IRC): Sorry, to be clear the one I tested here that seems to work is `$set(lastword,$rsearch(%title%,\([^\(\\s]+\)\\\)\$))` (which I had earlier posted with the `$rsearch(%title%` portion missing). Sorry about that.
