Hi I am creating an export to create a playlist of selected tracks, which I have imported from an iTunes playlist based on ratings. So far I have $filename(M:\MP3\%artist%\%artist% - Favourite Tracks.m3u)#EXTM3U $loop(%track%)$loop(%_filename_ext%)#EXTINF:%_length_seconds%,%artist% - %title% %_f…

Uncheck [ ] one file per directory or Use two export actions. The first just writes #EXTM3U The second contains the rest of the code and appends the text.

Try $regexp(%_folderpath%,'^\w:\\.+?\\(.+?)\\.*',$1)

Brilliant. Works exactly as I wanted. Thanks for your help

Just realised that when I load the data from a WMP playlist the format of the first part of the filename is \\NAS\Music\MP3\ rather than M:\MP3\ I changed the code to this $regexp(%_folderpath%,'^\\.+?\\.+?\\.+?\\(.+?)\\.*',$1) This appears to work, but I'm just wondering whether I need the ques…
