Symphony 50 in D, KV141a, KV161, KV163 (Overture Il songo di Scipione & Finale): Presto
I wish
Symphony 50 in D could remain as "Title" KV141a, KV161, KV163 could go to "Opus" Overture Il songo di Scipione & Finale could go to "Subtitle" Presto could go to "Tempo"
These fields already are in column view. I nevertheless want to remove a field "%OPUS%" that I erroneously created ant that appears in the field dropdown list.
Under the condition that the source string always follows the rule "title, opus (subtitle): tempo" you may create an Actiongroup containing following actions:
Action #1: Action type:Format value Field:PALLADIAN_TITLE Formatstring:%PALLADIAN_INPUT%
Action #2: Action type:Format value Field:PALLADIAN_OPUS Formatstring:%PALLADIAN_INPUT%
Action #3: Action type:Format value Field:PALLADIAN_SUBTITLE Formatstring:%PALLADIAN_INPUT%
Action #4: Action type:Format value Field:PALLADIAN_TEMPO Formatstring:%PALLADIAN_INPUT%
Dein RegExp sollte funktionieren, wenn du den Slash mit einem Backslash maskierst.
Your RegExp should work by masking the slash by a backslash. ^(.) / (.)$
Thanks Detlev for quick respons - unfortunately, the backslash doesn't help.
Too bad I can't get it to work: all conversions are provided\included, except the 'tag to tag' one - should be possible to extract tag-parts, are they are in a pattern?
I've used your example strings and it works with Mp3tag 2.37b. No problem.
You have to make sure, to look and write carefully and not to make writing failures, e.g. do not add space chars, and such other wild things.
If you've read the Mp3tag manual, then you should have known, that using a RegExp is a little bit tricky. It is always valueable to know the syntax and how to escape special chars.
You can learn much about using Mp3tag's RegExp machine by surfing through Mp3tag Forums and find user examples.
Like Dano had worked out afterwards by using the built in smart function 'Guess values' there is sometimes more than one way in Mp3tag to solve a problem, especially for such a simple problem.
I did read the manual (the online version - not sure if there is another one?) - the help provided for the actions is rather cryptic (no examples....) - I'm a programmer myself, and still I was battling with it; probably after a while of reading forum posts, using the program itself and playing around I would have been able to get it to work.
It was just that I ran into this this morning, and I wanted a quick solution - all the other great options work very intuitively and are easy to apply - this problem was harder to solve. Maybe it is because not many people run into the same issue? After all, I use MP3Tag for several months now (although not daily), and this was first time I needed something like that.
Anyway, it would be nice to have: some tag-to-tag wizard. Maybe for the wish-list?
BTW, this morning I downloaded V 2.37a - not the beta version you are using.
After some tweaking, I now get 50% result: the artist name and '/' are removed from the title tag, so the title remains, but artist name is not moved to the artist tag.
I installed 2.37b - just to be sure (yes, will update my profile).
Your Action does work - put it in my profile folder and applied - works as intended.
I also found the 'error' - have a look at my lines (based on Detlev's solution):
For each title-component, there is a 'Format value' action plus 'Replace with regular expression' action - so, for 2 components in the title tag, there are 4 actions:
In your action-script there is only one 'Format value' action for both components:
(and two 'Replace with regular expression' actions).
Also, I noticed, in the previous versions, in action-editor the '$1' and '$2' were not enclosed in double quotes ("). Now, in 2.37b they are - would that make any difference?
Thanks for your help: I'm really impressed, both by the capabilities of MP3tag and (your) support on this forum.
