Hi,
I am trying to make my script say "1 Album" if there is just one album in a particular loop, and "5 Albums" (PLURAL) if there are more than one.
I thought this should work using this line:
$ifgreater(%\_max\_counter%,1,Albums,Album)
Unfortunately, it does not work - is there any other way? I am trying to export to text.
Thanks.

It shoud work, maybe you didn't put %\_max\_counter% out of the loop.
ex:
```
$loop(%album%)
$loopend()
$ifgreater(%_max_counter%,1,Albums,Album)
```
%\_max\_counter% - Maximum value of counter of the last **closed loop**.
