Hello! I'm struggling to make a full automation of changes in my fields. I want to create an Action that converts Filename into Tag. I know I can do it manually in the converter, but I wanted to make it using Actions. Eg. 100 - File.mp3 Track: 100 Also, I'd like to fill blank Genres with a sp…

The action equivalent for the convert functions is an action of the type "Guess value" for Source: %_FILENAME% Guessing pattern: %track% - %dummy% To fill genres with "unknown", use an action of the type "Format value" for GENRE Format String: Unknown

Henrique Barcelos: Thanks for the help! I just need some changes now. I wanted that the track could be in the format "77", when the filename is 077. How could I do it? Action "FOrmat value" for track Format string: $num(%track%,1) Henrique Barcelos: And about the Genre doubt, I'll tr…

[image] ohrenkino: Action "FOrmat value" for track Format string: $num(%track%,1) Format value for GENRE Format string: $if2(%genre%,unknown) see faqs: /t/967/1 Thank you! But the second code did not work, it did not filled empty genres with the word Unknown. Could you please check that?

Henrique Barcelos: Thank you! But the second code did not work, it did not filled empty genres with the word Unknown. Could you please check that? I can't at the moment - I would try $if2(%genre%,'unknown')

[image] ohrenkino: I can't at the moment - I would try $if2(%genre%,'unknown') Didn't work either.. :frowning:

Henrique Barcelos: Didn't work either.. :frowning: This is a little astounding - I found a thread with a very similar problem and a very similar solution: /t/19099/1 Are you sure that you used $if2() and not just $if()?

Henrique Barcelos: Yes, I'm sure. The thing is that the funcion compares if it exists, while it shoud return Y, if X doesn't exist, which is, return Unknown if %genre% doesn't exist.. Oh, I see. so perhaps $if($eql(%genre%,),Unknown,%genre%)

[image] ohrenkino: Oh, I see. so perhaps $if($eql(%genre%,),Unknown,%genre%) It didn't work. I tried $if($eql(%genre%,),'Unknown',%genre%), but no success. :confused:
