Extract Pattern: Suppose you have a lot of lha and lzx archives with both modules, pictures and texts (file_id.diz, .nfo-files and others). Since APlayer will not recognize anything else than music modules, why should all the other files get unarchived, wasting your sparesome cpu-time :) Therefore you can use the extract pattern to tell APlayer which files should be unarchived, and which shouldn't. If you want to get rid of certain files, you can for instance write this as an extract pattern: ~(file_id.diz|#?.doc|#?.nfo|#?.txt|#?.gif)
