Maybe I am missing something but is there a way to have this functionality in the scripts?
if "this matches"
do this....
elseif "this matches"
do this...
end if
Looking at the "List of Parser Commands" I do not see a way where the elseif test could be incorporated. If I am missing something or someone knows a trick I would certainly be interested in that info.... thanx!!

it's "else" not "elseif", and it's without a second _"this matches"_
From the help page:
If S Check for occurrence of S on current position.
IfNot S Check for absence of S on current position.
Else Else branch of an If operation.
Endif End of an If/IfNot operation.
from a script of mine:
```
if "XXX-ALBUMARTIST-XXX"
sayoutput "albumartist"
else
regexpreplace "\s{2,}" " "
sayrest
endif
```
or more complicated here:
```
if "-" #one digit
else
movechar 1
if "-" #two digits
regexpreplace "-(\d)-" "-0$1-"
else
movechar 1
if "-" #three digits
regexpreplace "-(\d)-" "-0$1-"
regexpreplace "-(\d\d)-" "-0$1-"
else #four digits
regexpreplace "-(\d)-" "-0$1-"
regexpreplace "-(\d\d)-" "-0$1-"
regexpreplace "-(\d\d\d)-" "-0$1-"
endif
endif
endif
```
