after looking at main\_scripting.html help file, I'm still confused as how I align %\_length% to the right of each %title%. I tried to define a variable using $put(x, y) and $puts(x, y) outside a loop and can't seem to reference it inside a loop, etc etc.
Anyway, I am exporting to simple text file and want the format for track listing to be as follows:
01 - Some song title 03:25
02 - Some long song title 10:15
Can someone pls show me some code that I can format the track listing like the above.
This is what I have done:
$loop(%\_path%)$num(%track%,2) - %title% %\_length%
$loopend()
but the %\_length% is not aligned right ☹
tks

Maybe this guides you into the right direction.

Thanks!
Managed to figure it out after translating that thread with babel fish translation 🙂
