      you can also you divs instead of a table, and then set a css style
      ‘display’:‘inline-flex’
      ‘flex-direction’:‘vertical’

      and u can also use code to create the tree instead of text (don’t use the output_list anymore)
      (and u can use this with divs too, don’t need as many elements)

      var table=document.createElement("table")
      wrapper.appendChild(table)
                for(filename of this.dataFile) {
                     // if the name is not zero length (split could have returned for just linefeed
                     if(filename.length >0) {
                            // get the filename prefix
                            var tr=document.createElement("tr")
                            table.appendChild(tr)
                            var td=document.createElement("td")
                            tr.appendChild(td)
                            var split = splitRegExp.exec(filename);
                            td.innerText=split
                      }
            }
      return wrapper;

          wow… works like a charm! lists all tv shows perfectly! :)
          is there any way to print a line if the regex isn’t met… ie like a movie title instead of a series title with s01e03 attached?
          and possibly limit output to 10 lines?

          Thanks,

          Richie

            sure

            // should make this a config variable by adding to module defaults
            // then would be this.config.counter
            // get display limit, 10 if not specified in defaults
            var counter=this.config.counter || 10
                      var table=document.createElement("table")
                      wrapper.appendChild(table)
                      for(filename of this.dataFile) {
                           // if the name is not zero length (split could have returned for just linefeed
                           // and the view limit has not been reached
                           if(filename.length >0 && counter>0) {
                                  // get the filename prefix
                                  var tr=document.createElement("tr")
                                  table.appendChild(tr)
                                  var td=document.createElement("td")
                                  tr.appendChild(td)
                                  var split = splitRegExp.exec(filename);
                                  if(split)                        
                                      td.innerText=split
                                  else
                                      td.innerText='name not matched '+ filename
                                  counter--;

                  }
            return wrapper;
            

            or using the text form

            var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
            		if(this.dataFile){
                                    var output_list= [];

                                   // then would be this.config.counter
                                   // get display limit, 10 if not specified in defaults
                                   var counter=this.config.counter || 10
                                    // setup regex, no i  no g (only once, and case sensitive)
                                    var splitRegExp = /.*[S][(0-9)]+[E][(0-9)]+/;
                                    // loop thru the list of filenames
                                    for(filename of this.dataFile) {
                                        // if the name is not zero length (split could have returned for just linefeed
                                        if(filename.length >0 && counter >0) {
                                           // get the filename prefix
                                           var split = splitRegExp.exec(filename);

              the counter part worked great, but then when i tried to add it if loop for the name check, im getting “no data” maybe i messed up copying across?

                                      var output_list= [];
              			var counter=this.config.counter || 11
                                      // setup regex, no i  no g (only once, and case sensitive)
                                      var splitRegExp = /.*[S][(0-9)]+[E][(0-9)]+/;
                                      // loop thru the list of filenames
                                      for(filename of this.dataFile) {
                                          // if the name is not zero length (split could have returned for just linefeed
                                          if(filename.length >0 && counter>0) {
                                             // get the filename prefix
                                             var split = splitRegExp.exec(filename);
                                             // save name to the output list, as a table entry
                                             // table has a row, 
                                             output_list.push("<tr><td>")
              			       // with data

              			       else
              			          output_list.push('name not found:'+ filename)
                                             // end of data and row
                                             output_list.push("</td></tr>")
              			       counter--;
                                          }

                sorry, don’t understand the words…

                this is the test if the regex worked

                                               if(split)
                                                  output_list.push(split)
                			       else
                			          output_list.push('name not found:'+ filename)

                    my fault… I ‘assumed’ that regex would return an empty string… it returns a null value…

                    I fixed my sample, and your paste with the correct test

                    if(split)
                    

                    instead of

                    if(split.length>0)

                      and for others trying to implement code, you can debug using the developers console, OR make little sample files and run them directly in node

                      i named this testit.js in the user home folder (~/testit.js)

                      var dataFile=["Archer S01E02Someshow.tv",
                      "Archer S01E03Someshow .tv",
                      "Archer S01e02Someshow .tv",
                      "Archer S01E04Someshow .tv",
                      "Archer S01E05someshow .tv",
                      "Archer s01E02Someshow .tv",
                      "Archer S01E09Someshow .tv",
                      ]
                      var counter1=10
                      
                      
                                          if(dataFile){
                                              var output_list= [];
                                              // should make this a config variable by adding to module defaults
                                             // then would be this.config.counter
                                             // get display limit, 10 if not specified in defaults
                                             var counter=counter1 || 10
                                              // setup regex, no i  no g (only once, and case sensitive)
                                              var splitRegExp = /.*[S][(0-9)]+[E][(0-9)]+/;
                                              // loop thru the list of filenames
                                              for(filename of dataFile) {
                                                  // if the name is not zero length (split could have returned for just linefeed
                                                  if(filename.length >0 && counter >0) {
                                                     // get the filename prefix
                                                     var split = splitRegExp.exec(filename);
                                                     // save name to the output list, as a table entry
                                                     // remove space after the ->< , the forum hides everything after unless a space
                                                     // table has a row, 
                                                     output_list.push("<tr><td>")
                                                     // with data
                                                     if(split)
                                                        output_list.push(split)
                                                     else 
                                                         output_list.push('name not matched '+ filename)
                                                     // end of data and row
                                                     output_list.push("</td></tr>")
                                                     counter--;
                                                  } 
                                              }  
                                          }
                                              // insert the table into the wrapper
                                  console.log( "<table>" + output_list.join('')+ "</table>");
                      

                      and then

                      cd ~
                      node testit.js
