Choosing category for pligg sites

[Stroks]

Is there any simple way to choose category by for pligg sites by name of the category.

I am able to select the first available category (using select tag), but i cannot select a specific category such as "General". I can choose a category only using some kind ID.

I can match a category with an ID but using Regex but i hope there is a simpler way to do this.

Actually i did it using regex - <option\ value="\d*[\w\W]*?(Internet|General)[\w\W]*?</option>

Any easier solution?

The category id is then the number of occurences of <option\ value=" minus 1.

select - Set - selecteditems
And use as value something like:
Regex:yourregex

It works. However when i use RegexGeneral|.*) if the keyword General isn't present then the last category from the list is selected. Is there a way to choose the first one instead. I mean is it posible for regex .* to match the first selected item not the last one.
