Help - Make " be 'inch' (12" --> 12 Inch) in this script

I’ve cobbled together bits of a few scripts into one, managed to get it to do a few things I want, the last being I’d like to have places where it’s making it say [12" Vinyl] be written as [12 Inch Vinyl] instead.

I just can’t seem to figure out in here where it may be doing any of that, or for that matter, what to rreplace with what, and where:

Right now I get
MP3\Depeche Mode\Violator - 1990 [12" Vinyl] [256K 44100 2]

I’d like it to be:
MP3\Depeche Mode\Violator - 1990 [12 Inch Vinyl] [256K 44100 2]

While we’re in this topic, shouldn’t the inch symbol be using the proper double prime symbol (″) instead of the double quotation mark (")?

What you are looking for is the %media% variable, this holds the format of the medium, e.g. “CD” or “12” Vinyl". And indeed, if you look at your script you will find this snippet where this variable is used:

$if($ne(%media%,CD), $if(%media%,[%media%]))

Now this maybe looks a bit more complicated than it is. The basic idea that it will output something like “[12” Vinyl]" only if %media% is neither “CD” nor empty.

Now you have to replace the " character with " Inch", for this you can use the $replace function like this:

$replace(%media%,", Inch)

In your script you would use this only on the variable the gets actually ouput:

$if($ne(%media%,CD), $if(%media%,[$replace(%media%,", Inch)]))

That should work for your case.

Now @Jeluang makes a good point about the use of double prime instead of double quotation mark ". Maybe someone decides to change this for the media names in the future, so as an extra let’s make the script future proof to work with both:

$if($ne(%media%,CD), $if(%media%,[$rreplace(%media%,["″], Inch)]))

This is using $rreplace instead of $replace. $rreplace allows you to use “regular expressions”. This is a bit too much to explain here, but basically you can use regular expressions to describe specific patterns of text. In our case we use a group ["″] that matches both the quotation mark and double prime character.

Perfect, thanks! :slight_smile:

I’ve tried similar where I’ve got it checking for quotes in either %album% or %title%, to do the same thing, where there is an " in the title that isn’t part of a set of them for author names or similar.

Not having any success there either.
