apostrophes -> I meant that maybe Leroux's error is different.

still get the error -> yes, but I noticed that even option1 crashes. O_o

copy-paste the error--> how? The window closes immediately..

Edit: Nevermind, Magnitus' update should take care of this :)

K, I added escapes for special regex characacters by default since most users won't use the full power of regexes anyways and will just be confused about escaping special regex characters.

Yes, I think so. I'll reboot with Windows and try it. See if I can replicate your error.

I added an exception catch to expect input before exiting.

Ok, I tested it and it's not Windows in general. It seems to be specific to your setup.

I'll need more information to isolate your problem.

The content of your patterns.txt file would be a helpful start and the error message you're getting would be great.

Make sure you re-download the script.

EDIT: Ah, I managed to get your error. Its a Python 3 problem. I'll now be able to fix it.

You should be fine now.

Thank you again.
I'll try the script later, however, because I'm quite ill at the moment (=_=)

Pretty neat script. It is now working with latest Python 3.4.3 on Windows.

The new version of the script is working perfectly, thanks a lot to every people involved in it !
The "how to use" is well explained too, and it's easy to use :)
Edit : maybe the "alarm" part (youtube video or sound file) needs some further explication for inexperienced people (in the script, I don't understand what is "SoundFileUrl" used for. I think I get it, but not sure).

I found an issue with following games:
"Beyond Good & Evil™"
"Indiana Jones® and the Fate of Atlantis™"

When running on Windows 7 an Unicode exception occurred. But it runs without any problem on Linux.

You can use my modified version as a workaround until the fix is done.

Edit: Link updated to work on Python 3

Nice work, thanks ;)

Thanks. I confirm, it don't like ® and™ characters I think.

Hi there...

I tweaked your script today... and decided to let you in on it. While I am a professional programmer, I'm a Python newb... :)

I added a quick & dirty option to run a batch or script file as the alarm. I probably should have included a sample script file... and also some rudimentary error trapping... but that's what future commits are for, right?

I created a pull request if you're interested.

Thanks a lot for contributing. I'm glad the script benefited you in more ways than one :).

Interesting. Guess it's too late to catch it in the act now. I'll re-read the unicode section of my Python brick as it pertains to Python 2.7 vs 3.4 and see if I can catch an error in the code just by reading it.

I am, though if I pull the merge now, it won't run without the shell script which is activated by default and I assume is Mac OS specific.

I made a recommendation in the pull request.

Updated:
I added more information like discount percentage, sale price, and original price along with the game title.
