I'm trying to write a JSON web sources script but I'm having an issue being able to output the current line/value as-is without any whitespace trimming happening. A random example of a MusicBrainz release in JSON: https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release/b1ba816e-2da4-4bf6-9c2b-4a743cb19b65?fmt=json&in…

Sorry, I can't help you with a working websource syntax. But I would like to add to [image] mr_bug: But due to how releases are credited, this is bound to mess up on some attempts at tagging that (AFAIK) a join phrase on MusicBrainz can be "everything", from a space to a Slash or " feat. "…

Thanks for the reply. I am in fact aware of this. The simplistic code above would actually work with the example you gave and that was its point: to work most of the time. But yes, it'll mess up on any fancier, less standard, joinphrases, which is what I'm trying to avoid by being able to output the…

Some background information: When the web-sources language was developed, most of the input was HTML with a varying amount of spaces used throughout the documents. Trimming spaces was a nice feature to not break the web sources on ti…

Thanks for the reply. The context is pretty much the original post. The joinphrases as seen in the second post's screenshot is what's giving trouble. Due to MusicBrainz's rules, the joinphrases could be formatted in an innumerable amount of ways depending on the release's styling, so it's not a ma…

Seems I overwrote my previous post accidentally. Here it is for context: @Florian What do you think of the idea of a SayRegexpRaw command? It wouldn't break backwards compatibility, and would let one read the values exactly as they are, pre and post whitespace too. I'll respect your wishes if you…

Using #<< and >># for joinphrases only works for the [ParserScriptAlbum]=... section as these symbols can be removed via an Mp3tag Action after writing the tags containing them to a file. For [ParserScriptIndex]=... however, the joinphrases are only ever displayed, never written, so they only need …
