How to use regex in import -L queries?

[dustinpaluch]

If I have an artist with three albums:

Foo
Foo 2
Foo 3

And I want to re-import Foo with beet import -L <query>, how do I query for Foo and not Foo 2 and 3? beet import -L Foo$ doesn't work.

try beet imp 'albumartist::^Foo$'

If on windows using cmd.exe the swap the ' for "

This works if I include -L and change albumartist to album. Thanks.
