Subject: Regular Expression Trouble

Hey!

I'm writing a little script to rename files with weird names but common
bits to a common format. Here's the regular expression I use to extract
the common data:

/.*s?(\d?\d)x?e?(\d\d).*\.(\w{3})$/i

It's meant to rename TV Show files, both video and subtitles. I'm having
trouble making it match the first group however. One of the digits
should be optional, so I stuffed a ? sign there. However, it only
matches one digit, leaving strings like 12x14 with captures ["2", "14"].

I'm not quite sure if there's anything wrong with my expression there,
but I'd swear it's the way to do it. Maybe you're able to see something
I'm looking past.

Thanks!
