Hi, I tired to use the $ansi() function in the parameter of a tool, but doesn't seem to work.

The tool is this (inspired by [this post](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/966/1)):

```
http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&opt1=2&sql=$replace($ansi(%album%), ,+)

```

I also tried the other way round, just in case, but I doesn't work either:

```
http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&opt1=2&sql=$ansi($replace(%album%, ,+))

```

Name of the tool (for those interested): AMG - Album  
Path: pointing to "firefox.exe"  
[] for all selected files (not marked)

There seems to be only one way to correct this for me (veeeeeery ad hoc, let's say):

```
http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&opt1=2&sql=$replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace(%album%, ,+),á,a),é,e),í,i),ó,o),ú,u)

```

The album in question is "Verve Jazz Masters 11: Stéphane Grappelli", so the idea of using several $replace function works, but I'd need to modifiy it to allow other characters every time I need it. That's very tedious.

Any other idea?
