Hi Guys
Just joined and are very new to this scripting thing. And english arent my main, so I don't know what to google - I have tried.
I am generating a .nfo file with export.
1. This is the line in the top:
$filename($replace(%artist%, ,_,) - $replace(%album%, ,_).nfo,ansi)
The $replace 'space with \_' is just fine. But I have multiple replacements I want to use (Trying to name after scene rules).
But how do I $replace with multiple string? Cause let's say that the album name is "Name & Name", then I want to place space with \_ (Which I did), but I also want to place '&' with 'Og' etc etc.
Can someone please help me out, and explain it in details. 🙂

You can include several pairs for replacement in one statement, e.g.
$replace(%artist%, ,\_,&,Og,water,wine,evil,good)
you would have to use a separate function call if the field is a different one.

Wow, that was too simple. Thank you very much for a quick reply! 🙂
Could you by any chance explain separate function call?

Oki, seems I have already run into trouble.
It worked fine when I added ,&,Og,
But when I added ,',, because I want to remove ' from the file name, it didnt work:
$filename($replace(%artist%, ,_,&,Og,',,)-$replace(%album%, ,_,&,Og,',,).nfo,ansi)
Any suggestions?

If you are unsure about the special characters "Apostrophe" and "Double Quote", you may apply them as the result of the Mp3tag $char() function:
$char(32) gives the space character,
$char(34) gives the double quote character,
$char(38) gives the ampersand character,
$char(39) gives the single apostrophe character.
(see also: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII))
$filename($replace(%artist%, ,\_,&,Og,'',,)-$replace(%album%, ,\_,&,Og,'',,).nfo,ansi)
$filename($replace(%artist%'-'%album%'.nfo',$char(32),$char(95),$char(38),'Og',$char(39),$char(0)),ansi)
