how do I Extract the year from title: Still In The Groove 1981
As you can see the year is one space separated from the title. Is there a way to just extract the "1981" AND PLACE IT INTO THE YEAR TAG?
Try an action of the type "Format value" or use the function Convert>Tag-Tag for the field YEAR
Format string: $regexp(%title%,.*(\d\d\d\d),$1)
Ok.. it put the year in the year tag field..BUT it did not remove the "year" from the title. Any ideas on how to do that?
create an action group that first fills YEAR as described above.
Then add another action of the type "Format value" this time for TITLE
Format string: $regexp(%title%,(.*) \d\d\d\d,$1)
PERFECT! THANKS this is what I needed.
extra question. what is the difference between %title% and Title when it comes to tag fields?
TITLE is the name of the tag field - which defines a target.
%title% refers to the contents of the named tag field.
What is the difference?
Actually, I don't understand the question.
All field selection lists need only the field name without %.
If you want to enter a format string, then the field reference has to be distinguishable from plain text. For that you need the % around the field reference.
