Maybe this export script can help ...

$filename($getEnv('USERPROFILE')'\Desktop\AlbumDiff.txt',UTF-8)  
$loop(%\_folderpath%,1)$loop(%ALBUM%,1)%\_folderpath%' === '%ALBUM%  
$loopend()$loopend()

Possibly this report is a little bit more comfortable to read ...

**1: $filename($getEnv('USERPROFILE')'\Desktop\AlbumDiff.txt',UTF-8)** 

**2: $loop(0)$loop(%\_folderpath%,1)$puts(MaxWidth1,$ifgreater($len(%\_folderpath%),$get(MaxWidth1),$len(%\_folderpath%),$get(MaxWidth1)))$loopend()  
3: $loop(%\_folderpath%,1)$loop(%ALBUM%,1)$left(%\_folderpath%$repeat($char(32),$get(MaxWidth1)),$get(MaxWidth1))' ==\> '%ALBUM%  
4: $loopend()$loopend()$repeat('=',$get(MaxWidth1))$loopend()  
5: $loop(0)$loop(%ALBUM%,1)$puts(MaxWidth2,$ifgreater($len(%ALBUM%),$get(MaxWidth2),$len(%ALBUM%),$get(MaxWidth2)))$loopend()  
6: $loop(%ALBUM%,1)$loop(%\_folderpath%,1)$left(%ALBUM%$repeat($char(32),$get(MaxWidth2)),$get(MaxWidth2))' ==\> '%\_folderpath%  
7: $loopend()$loopend()$repeat('=',$get(MaxWidth2))$loopend()**
