How do I capitalize the words of the subtitle in the brackets?

General Discussion
#1

Hi there,

I am currently using this code:
$regexp($upper(%artist%),'(?#From "The Artist" to "Artist")^(?i)(?:the|der|die|das)\s+',) - $caps(%title%)

for: ABBA - The Winner Takes It All (has To Fall) ,

but it should be this way: ABBA - The Winner Takes It All (Has To Fall)

I'd really appreciate it if someone could modify my code for this.
I've tried it in many ways, but failed so far :slight_smile:

Thank you so much.

I am not sure what the regular expression should do there if you do not reference any search result.

I would try "Format value" with
$caps2('ABBA - The Winner Takes It All (has To Fall)','(') -> "ABBA - The Winner Takes It All (Has To Fall)"

#3

unfortunately it didn't work , the first word in the brackets is still in the lower case:

(has To Fall)

#4

As I tried it with the string from the example and the result was as shown you now have to show, preferably with a screendump the original data and the action that you used.

here we go!

you are missing the parameter to set the word separators:

I am really sorry, I can't figure this out :slight_smile:

I'd appreciate it, if you just paste the entire code-line here.

Cheers

$caps2(%title%)
should be
$caps2(%title%,'(')

#9

Thank you ... but there's a new problem now with the partial old problem there :slight_smile:

with this:
$regexp($upper(%artist%),'(?#From "The Artist" to "Artist")^(?i)(?:the|der|die|das)\s+',) - $caps2(%title%,'(')

now, I'm getting this :frowning:
ABBA - The winner takes it all (Has to fall)

and all I wanted to have it like this:
ABBA - The Winner Takes It All (Has To Fall)

where am I still doing it wrong?

#10

Yeah, as you gave

as source string, all the other words where already in capitals and they were to be left alone.

So,
$caps2(%title%,'(')
becomes
$caps(%title%,'( ')

#11

yeah ... finally !!!

thank you so much for your patience and time :slight_smile:

#12

Nice to see it's fixed :slight_smile:

What about this:
The beatles - Back in the U.s.s.r (how Lucky You Are)

Should be like this:
BEATLES - Back In The U.S.S.R (How Lucky You Are)

What do I add to the current code or what should be the full code for this?

Thanks a lot.

$caps('The beatles - Back in the U.s.s.r (how Lucky You Are)', '('.)

and further information in

#14

There is no automatism to convert "The beatles" into "BEATLES".
If you really want that, you have to specify a replacement with code like this
$replace(%ARTIST%,The beatles,BEATLES)

This would replace The Beatles saved in your ARTIST tag with BEATLES in the same ARTIST tag.
Please be aware, that such a replacement ist case sensitive. It would not work for an ARTIST The Beatles (with a uppercase B) until you use the $upper function.

Thanks to @ohrenkino I just realized, that you want to use it with the mentioned code.

#15

I assumed that this was the originally used code.
