When looking at a file list, a bad tag in the Tag column can be hard to see. The Tag column is also quite wide and screen width is valuable. The content of the columns can be modified... we can even make our own new columns, which is great. [image] But I don't yet see how I might be able to do s…

Replying to myself... Using this as the Value for a new column we can show either the ID3 version or the string "BAD" if the returned tag data has "BAD" in it. $regexp(%_tag%,^(.?)(\bBAD\b)(.)$,BAD) Not quite there yet ... a blank return for a good tag would be better... but progress. Clearly I n…

[image] Horseflesh: I thought about using an if(x,y,z) to say "if the field is 'BAD' then keep it otherwise print a ' ' " but as far as I can see the regular expression is not a boolean, You need an expression like $if($eql(Term1,term2),output for true,output for false) See the help on scrip…

[image] ohrenkino: You need an expression like $if($eql(Term1,term2),output for true,output for false) Yes, but I can't figure out how to make the test in the first $if argument return true if the %tag% string contains "BAD". Regex does not do it and none of the boolean functions let me searc…

[image] Horseflesh: and none of the boolean functions let me search for a substring True, but if you scan through the page of scripting functions, you will also find string functions like $strstr() that return the position of a string. So a test with $ifgreater() would return whether the subs…

Maybe this topic will give you some ideas? [image] Two columns to check for errors Support I’m pretty strict and tedious about my tags, which perhaps a lot of you are. I have some questions how to have columns which will show tags that does not follow my schemes and so on…
