Good morning,
i need some help for this:
Artist: TRIUMVIRAT
Title: e minor 5/9 minor /5: broken / head over heels / broken
required file name: TRIUMVIRAT-e minor 5_9 minor_5: broken_head over heels_broken
name of the file that appears: e minor 59 minor 5 broken head over heels broken
I tried: %artist%-$replace(%Title%,': ','_','/','_'' / ','_') but there are some problems with the spaces
Thank you for your help
Can you edit your post to enclose the format string in backticks `, e.g., `my format string` so that spaces and other special characters are preserved?
I doubt that this filename will work in Windows. AFAIK the colon is not allowed as part of the filename but only to define the drive letter.
Did you have a look at the function $validate()? It looks to me as though you want to replace any illegal character with an underscore. This could be achieved with
$validate(%title%,_)
and in respect to the $replace() function: you have to define pairs, e.g. if you want to replace the ": " with "_" and " /" with _ the syntax would be replace(%Title%,: ,_, /,_).
I your code example I think there is at least one incomplete pair and it also looks to me as though you defined a list of characters and then put the resulting character last.
Good morning,
Thanks for your quick response and successful solution.
The format: $validate(%artist%-%title%,_) is the best solution.
My best regards

It also works using the $replace format
$replace(%artist%-%title%,:,_, / ,_,/,_,)
