[X] Literal string can break loop parsing

[chrisjj]

1 See file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mp3tag/help/main_scripting.html says

' Outputs raw text without parsing. This will output the contained string and ignore all reserved characters. If you want to output this character please use ''.

2 Select one track
3 Export using config $loop(%dummy%)'$loop'$loopend()
Expected: outputfile containing $loop
Observed: Error - "Missing brackets or parameter at $loop()"

Workaround: $loop(%dummy%)'$lo''op'$loopend()

Just out of interest: can you show me the export file where you've actually needed to output $loop? Or have you simply tried to reach the limits?

The background of this behaviour is, that normal scripting functions are another language that the export configuration language (including different parsers).

No longer availabable, but the line was something lke:

$puts(REM,'workaround for failure of $loop() after $loop(,1)')

The background of this behaviour is, that normal scripting functions are another
language that the export configuration language (including different parsers).

That design decision was... daring!
