and you sort by the %_filename_ext% - you do not say what the
would be
If you want to keep the same order as the one that you have in the filelist then use $loop(1) instead.
If you want to sort by ARTIST; ALBUM and then by TRACK, use $loop(%artist%%album%$num(%track%,2))
Then I don't understand your problem.
You export far more fields than just
title artist album track year _length _file_size _file_mod_date _folderpath _filename_ext genre comment bpm _bitrate
and you say that
What would you consider to be the sequential order? Currently, you sort by _FILENAME_EXT to get an order.
To get the header line separated from the rest, you need a linebreak in the script.
For all the other bits and pieces, you have to adapt the named columns and fields.
where does this command line "$loopend((%artist%%album%$num(%track%,2))" fit in this sequence "$filename(csv,utf-16)Title$char(9)Artist$char(9)Album$char(9)Track$char(9)Year$char(9)Length$char(9)Size$char(9)Modified$char(9)Path$char(9)Filename$char(9)Genre$char(9)Comment$char(9)BPM$char(9)Bitrate$loop(%_filename_ext%)%title%$char(9)%artist%$char(9)%album%$char(9)%track%$char(9)%year%$char(9)%_length%$char(9)%_file_size%$char(9)%_file_mod_date%$char(9)%_folderpath%$char(9)%_filename_ext%$char(9)%genre%$char(9)%comment%$char(9)%bpm%$char(9)%_bitrate%
$loopend()"?
After using this command line : [$filename(csv,utf16)Title$char(9)Artist$char(9)Album$char(9)Track$char(9)Year$char(9)Length$char(9)Size$char(9)Modified$char(9)Path$char(9)Filename$char(9)Genre$char(9)Comment$char(9)BPM$char(9)Bitrate$loop(%_filename_ext%)%title%$char(9)%artist%$char(9)%album%$char(9)%track%$char(9)%year%$char(9)%_length%$char(9)%_file_size%$char(9)%_file_mod_date%$char(9)%_folderpath%$char(9)%_filename_ext%$char(9)%genre%$char(9)%comment%$char(9)%bpm%$char(9)%_bitrate%$loopend ()] the bottom image is what the end result
I've asked for the command line to avoid the image from my initial inquiry, you them told me to add this $loop(%artist%%album%$num(%track%,2)) to the command line and again you did not indicate where to add it
You would need to copy only the code part.
Please show me the code you use now.
Anyway: you could check for yourself: how many $loop() and how many $loopend() statements do you have in the code right now?
And actually, I get the following message:
and the following output with the script from post #2
What is that?
To me it looks like you have copied the whole post:
... which does not really make sense and leads to invalid code.
You would have to copy only the part from the code box.
And if that is too difficult for you, then I am afraid, I cannot help you any further.
Just a reminder: it is your problem, not mine. So you have to get it working in your environment if it is still your intention to export a tab-separated text.
My environment? This is your problem after your last update which caused this problem in the first place. Furthermore you also showed you where getting the same error message as myself
