How to use [split] in naming conventions in ID DSP Processing

[MidimanInOz]

Dear all,

I have tried everything I can think of - but nothing works :-)

The Comment field contains the following:

nnnn/yyyyyyyy...
or
nnnna/yyyyyyyy...

I want to split this Comment field into:

Artist = nnnn or nnnna
and
UPC Code=yyyyyyyyy...

The following works in Rule Based Manipulation:

IF Comment=[anyvalue]
SET Artist=[GRAB]1,5,[tag]Comment[][]
IF Artist=[anyvalue]
SET Artist=CD02-[tag]Artist[]

With this code I get an Artist of:

CD02-nnnn_ or CD02-nnnna

but I want an Artist of:

CD02-nnnn or CD02-nnnna

As nnnna can be 4 or 5 characters long, I want to do something like this:

IF Comment=[anyvalue]
SET Artist=[SPLIT]/,[tag]Comment[],1[]
IF Artist=[anyvalue]
SET Artist=CD02-[tag]Artist[]

But whatever I try, it does not work. How do I use [SPLIT] to split a Comment into 2 strings. I do not care if the separator is _ or / or , or whatever

Many thanks!

Mike

I tried your exact split code in CD Ripper on 2 tracks with Comments of 'nnnn/abcdefg' and 'nnnna/abcdefg' and it worked as expected.
What results do you get?
