greedy search in "automaticallt fill values..."

Is it possible to do a kind of greedy matching in foobar2000?
In the example below I would like to extract what is in the last parentheses but it matches the first one and ignores the rest.
Some regex would be great...

(Hi!)
Good idea, the current behavior is indeed wrong, noted.

Since there is no solution so far, I figured you could use two steps -

1) 'Automatically Fill Values...' as you were using -

Code: [Select]
%temp1% (%temp2%) (%temp2%)

That should fill in %temp2% correctly (why not use %movement% tag?), except the first set of tracks will have an extra ')' at the end. Which you could then remove with -

2) right-click TEMP2 field > 'Format From Other Fields...' and enter -

Code: [Select]
$if($strcmp($right(%temp2%,1),')'),$cut(%temp2%,$sub($len(%temp2%),1)),[%temp2%])

^ Possibly an overly long string for the job but you get the idea - and check everything looks correct before hitting Apply to write the tags.

Cheers
