Brackets display order - [ ] ( ) { }

Yes, that checks out, thank you very much. [Although I do not understand, why is there a single >>)<< at the end of the code and not four of them, to close the equation]

Quite simple really.

If you have 1 opening ( there needs to be the same on the other side. So 3 x ( and 3 x ) on the right.

The syntax for one replace fn is:

$replace(string,from,to)

So two replace functions is:

$replace($replace(string,from,to),from,to)

Three is:

$replace($replace($replace(string,from,to),from,to),from,to)

.. and so on. The fn just so happens to lie outside.

I also write 3ds Max scripts with maxscript and it's syntax for functions is:

fn dosomethingcool = (
   place some cool code here
)

And then:

dosomethingcool()

which will run that function.

Each coding syntax is different. Much like English vs. Dutch

The order is retained, but my first is my last ["Song" is at the bottom of the list and at the top is the "Song (Info) [Info]" which should be the last]. I can reverse the sort results in main window by clicking the column header, by it does not effect what comes out in exported list

Try this on your files:

$filename(C:\Test Export on $regexp(%_date%,'(\d\d)/(\d\d)/(\d\d\d\d)','$3-$2-$1').txt,utf-8)
TEST EXPORT on $regexp(%_date%,'(\d\d)/(\d\d)/\d\d(\d\d)','$1-$2-$3')
-------------------------------------
$loop($replace($replace($replace(%path%,'[',1),'(',2),'{',3))
%title%$loopend()

I've tried it with:

Song
Song [Info]
Song (Info) [Info]
Song (Info) {Info}
Song (Info) Part 2 {Info} [Info]
Song {Info}
Song Part 2
Song Part 2 {Info}

And it's output is the same as the fields:

TEST EXPORT on 29-10-16
-------------------------------------

Song
Song [Info]
Song (Info) [Info]
Song (Info) {Info}
Song (Info) Part 2 {Info} [Info]
Song {Info}
Song Part 2
Song Part 2 {Info}
