Hopefully someone can give me a hand with this - I'm trying make a script that swaps A and B but only if B exists (ie B is not empty).

Swapping A and B is a preset but I'll be if I understand Reg expressions and where to put the "if B exists" part!

Can anyone give me a pointer please?

Code: Select all

  Set list = SDB.SelectedSongList  
  if list.count<1 then exit sub
  For i=0 To list.count-1
    Set itm = list.Item(i)
    A = itm.Title
    B = itm.ArtistName
    if B<>"" then                   'String is Not Null And Not Empty
    	itm.Title = B
    	itm.ArtistName = A
    end if
  Next
  list.UpdateAll

champion! thanks

I'm driving myself mad trying to figure this one out.

I'm trying to set "Custom 4" field to display the TOTAL number of tracks for an entire album - and not just on the one disc.

E.g.

If Disc 1 has 10 tracks, and Disc 2 has 15, I would want to Custom 4 to display "25".

Is there any way to display this?

And optionally, to make the number be at least four numbers long? (e.g. 0025 instead of 25)?

Many thanks.

UPDATE:

I figured out getting the total number of tracks:

SQLQuery("SELECT Count(CAST(TrackNumber AS integer)) FROM Songs WHERE IDAlbum = " & oSongData.Album.ID & " GROUP BY IDAlbum")

All I need now is to find out how I ensure the result comes out as a four-figure number?

strgVar=right(10000+ResultFromSQL,4)

Works beautifully!

Many thanks, Erwin!!

Bingo
Thanks for the feedback.
It is always nice to know if suggestions could be implemented

You could also try to build your SQL query instead of "ResultFromSQL"

Excuse me if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find an answer thus far.

Is it possible to use this add-on to have multiple fields copied to a single field?

For example:
Year -> Genre, Album Artist -> Genre, Grouping -> Genre

So that the resulting Genre field would display:

2000; Madonna; Album
(which is <Year>; <Album Artist>; <Grouping>)

Many thanks.

Very much appreciated, thank you!

I have upgraded my computer from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Now the RegExp Find & Replace app takes almost a minute (or more) just to load. Does anyone have advice on what to do about this? Perhaps I should re-install the app. If so, where is the most up-to-date version of it? Or is there something else I can do? I know that with the Windows upgrade more memory is required and so other things have slowed on the computer, but only a little bit. This one has become categorically different in terms of slowness since I upgraded. Please advise.

DOWNLOAD RegExp Find and Replace Version 4.4.9: http://solair.eunet.rs/~zvezdand/RegExpReplace.htm

Hi! I'm rather new to both MM and all kind of regex, so sorry for a maybe basic question. I'm trying to shorten names from e.g. Johann Pachelbel to J. Pachelbel. Right now, I first run a preset to insert ". " after the first letter, then I run the preset to remove 1 word after the first word.
Is there a way/preset to do all this at once? Im using the extended version.
Thanks!

I had the same problem. What I ended up doing was deleting a bunch of the presets I never used, and it now loads much faster. Not sure if that's an option for you, but just an idea.

The extended version allows you to execute several presets at once using the Batch option. Please read the Usage section of the add-on's web page to learn more about that option.
