Output:
{
"title": "The Walking Dead",

Advanced Usage
Custom Patterns and Types
You can add custom regex patterns or override existing ones:
ptn.configure({
newPattern: /customRegex/,
existingPattern: /overrideRegex/
}, {
newPattern: 'customType'
});
const result = ptn('Filename with custom pattern', {
additionalPattern: /extraRegex/
}, {
additionalPattern: 'extraType'
});
### Handling Special Cases
The library intelligently handles various edge cases, such as:
- Titles with numbers (e.g., "2047 - Sights of Death")
- Multiple languages (e.g., "MULTI", "TRUEFRENCH")
- Unconventional separators (dots, underscores)
## How It Works
1. The library uses a series of regular expressions to identify different parts of the filename.
2. It processes the filename in multiple passes, extracting information in a specific order.
3. The title is cleaned up by removing unnecessary characters and adjusting spacing.
4. Special cases and edge cases are handled through various conditional checks.
