Is there anyway to identify the 3rd directory in filter script /reg exp? Maybe you can adapt something from there ... [/t/9324/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/9324/1) [/t/12021/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/12021/1) You can simply solve your problem using this filter expression ... **"%\_folderpath%" HAS "\Bandhouse"** ... or use a regular expression to split the folderpath into folder components ... **"$regexp(%\_folderpath%,'^.+?\\\\(.+?)\\\\(.+?)\\\\(.+?)\\\\.+$','$3')" IS "Bandhouse"**. Here the components are ^Drive\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\Remainder$ Note: The filter does not 'pull' something from anything, but restricts the list view for the currently loaded files, fitting to the filter expression. If you want to 'pull' a partly value from the given file's folderpath, then you have to apply a scripting expression within a converter or action dialog.
