Window Class / Name with tiler for Blender

Hi all,

Not used Blender since some month. Main Wm is awesome since more than twelve years.
Before, my rule was perfect:

    { rule = { class = "Blender" },
        properties = { tag = "3",
                       border_width = 0 } },

But now Blender has a more complete WM Name / class:

WM_NAME(STRING) = "* (Unsaved) - Blender 5.1.2"
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "(Unsaved) - Blender 5.1.2", "(Unsaved) - Blender 5.1.2"

As a lua noob, i can't find a solution here. Is there some pattern matching or a way to force the name or class to be only "Blender"?

Houdini is another tool i use and it's the same problem.

Re: Window Class / Name with tiler for Blender

Found the solution, sorry for polluting here.
Doesn't work with "Blender.*" but work great with "Blender.*$"... Don't know why.
