Regex to match movie file

I was trying to write some regex to match the title of a movie from a file. The regex should match the title from all the example files. I can only get it to work for some of them currently with this regex ^(.+).(\d{4}p).
I am using this in Java from the package java.util.regex

I would like it to work when the movie file format is:

• {title} {year} {resolution} etc.
• {title} {resolution} {year} etc.
• {title} {resolution} etc.
• {title} {year} etc.
• when the movie contains a year or is just a year like the movie: 2012 (2009)

Example files:

Film.2017.720p.BluRay.H264.AAC.mp4
Film.And.The.Film.2017.1080p.BluRay.x264.mp4
152.Seconds.2010.1080p.BluRay.x264.mp4
2015.2005.1080p.BluRay.x264.mp4

Java code:

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    ArrayList<String> movies = new ArrayList<>();
    movies.add("Film.2017.720p.BluRay.H264.AAC.mp4");
    movies.add("Film.And.The.Film.2017.1080p.BluRay.x264.mp4");
    movies.add("152.Seconds.2010.1080p.BluRay.x264.mp4");
    movies.add("2015.2005.1080p.BluRay.x264.mp4");

    for (String s : movies)
    {
        System.out.println("original file: \t" + s);
        System.out.println("new file: \t\t" + getTitleFromFile(s) + "\n");
    }
}
    

private static String getTitleFromFile(String fileName)
{
    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("^(.+).(\\d{4}p)");
    Matcher m = pattern.matcher(fileName);

    if (m.find())
    {
        return m.group();
    }
    else
    {
        return null;
    }
}

Actual Output:

original file: 	Film.2017.720p.BluRay.H264.AAC.mp4
new file: 		null

original file: 	Film.And.The.Film.2017.1080p.BluRay.x264.mp4
new file: 		null

original file: 	Film 2015 1080p BluRay x264 DTS.mp4
new file: 		Film 2015 1080p

original file: 	Film.1080p.BrRip.x264.mp4
new file: 		Film.1080p

Expected Output:

original file: 	Film.2017.720p.BluRay.H264.AAC.mp4
new file: 		Film

original file: 	Film.And.The.Film.2017.1080p.BluRay.x264.mp4
new file: 		Film And The Film

original file: 	Film 2015 1080p BluRay x264 DTS.mp4
new file: 		Film

original file: 	Film.1080p.BrRip.x264.mp4
new file: 		Film

You may use

^(.*?)\W(?:(\d{4})(?:\W(\d+p)?)|(\d+p)(?:\W(\d{4}))?)\b

See the regex demo.

Details

• ^ - start of string
• (.*?) - Group 1: name, any 0 or more chars other than line break chars, as few as possible
• \W - a non-word char
• (?:(\d{4})(?:\W(\d+p)?)|(\d+p)(?:\W(\d{4}))?) - either of
  • (\d{4})(?:\W(\d+p)?) - Group 2 - four digits followed with an optional group matching a non-word char and then one or more digits and p captured in Group 3
  • | - or
  • (\d+p)(?:\W(\d{4}))? - Group 4 - one or more digits and p followed with an optional group matching a non-word char and then four digits captured in Group 5
• \b - word boundary

Java demo:

List<String> strs = Arrays.asList("Film.The.Film.720p.BrRip.x264.BOKUTOX.mp4",
	     "Film.The.Film.2020.BrRip.x264.mp4",
	     "Film.The.Film.720p.2020.BrRip.x264.mp4", 
	     "Film.The.Film.720p.BrRip.x264.mp4");
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("^(.*?)\\W(?:(\\d{4})(?:\\W(\\d+p)?)|(\\d+p)(?:\\W(\\d{4}))?)\\b");
for (String str : strs) {
	Matcher m = p.matcher(str);
	if (m.find()) {
		System.out.println("\n--------\nName: " + m.group(1).replace(".", " "));
		if (m.group(2) != null) {
			System.out.println("Year: " + m.group(2));
			if (m.group(3) != null) {
				System.out.println("Resolution: " + m.group(3));
			}
		}
		else {
			System.out.println("Resolution: " + m.group(4));
			if (m.group(5) != null) {
				System.out.println("Year: " + m.group(5));
			}
		}
	}
}

Output:

--------
Name: Film The Film
Year: 2004
Resolution: 720p

--------
Name: Film The Film
Year: 2020

--------
Name: Film The Film
Resolution: 720p
Year: 2020

--------
Name: Film The Film
Resolution: 720p
