Can I edit this action (easily) to exclude one word?

I’ve been happily using this action for years now for Case Conversions putting things in the exact format I like:

Format tag field “ALBUM”: $caps2(%album%, ‘({\[‘)

Is there a way to exclude the word “iTunes” from this, or does this require a second action somehow? (If the album has the word “iTunes” in it, do not change it to “ITunes”)

You could try to filter your ALBUMs first with something like:

NOT album MATCHES (?-i)iTunes AND NOT album MISSING

This should only show the entries without iTunes (case-sensitive) and not empty ALBUM content.

Then apply your Case Conversion to the listed entries only.

If you are using a Mac, please use the Mac support part of this forum.

You could use
Format tag field “ALBUM”: $replace($caps2(%album%, ‘({\[‘),ITunes,iTunes)

Isn’t this a general question that would apply to Mac or Windows ???

There are some differences in syntax and in the features that are currently available.

So if you need an Action or regular expression for Mac, it would be better to ask in the Mac section to ensure you get the best possible solution.

BTW:
The accepted solution does not "exclude one word", as requested.
Of course, the result is what your looking for, but not by excluding the word "iTunes".
The $replace command simply converts any incorrectly converted ITunes back to the desired version iTunes. This would be equivalent to creating a separate second Action for the same step.
