Remove urls from tags

Support
#1

Hi guys :laughing:

Got some music with urls like these added to the titles/artist/comments etc...

Title: flux pavilion www.randomsite.pl
Artist: chuckie www.somesite.com

I want to remove all the urls from the tags.

Can't find/create a script that does it.

Help would be appreciated :smiley:

Thanks guys

Create an action of the type "Format Tag field" e.g. for TITLE with a format string that looks like this:

$left(%title%,$strstr(%title%,' www'))
(note the blank in front of www)
Create a similar action for the field Artist

The idea is to let MP3tag search for " www" inside the string, determine the position of that string and trim the field up to that position.
As this function return zero if the " www" is not found you will end up with an empty string if there is no " www" in it, so filter your list first before you start the action.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Is there a way to make an if else expression so that if it returns 0 it does nothing.
And can you search all the fields at the same time ?

I hope that i'm not asking to much :astonished:

Thanks alot :laughing:

With a regex action you can replace in all fields:

Action type: Replace with regular expressions
Field: _ALL
Regular expression: \s+www.[a-z0-9]+.[a-z]{2,3}\b
Replace matches with:

[ ] case-sensitive comparison
