[IFVALUE] not liking comma in string

[losinj]

Has anyone else had a problem when nesting this popular method of switching "The" to the end of something ...

[IFEQUALS]artist,The [DEL]1,4,[artist][],
	[TRIM][DEL]1,4,[artist][], The[]
[]
[IF!EQUALS]artist,The [DEL]1,4,[artist][],
	[artist]
[]

... into an [IFVALUE] script?

I've used [artist] as an example. "The Police" should output as "Police, The", but instead I get just "Police".

I found by entering this test script into the Naming field

[IFVALUE]artist,[TRIM][DEL]1,4,[artist][][B][COLOR="red"], The[/COLOR][/B][],test[]

and watching the Example output, by removing the comma in "[COLOR="red"], The[/COLOR]" it would change "Police" to "Police The".

I would say the comma should be interpretted as being within the [TRIM] statement, but not by [IFVALUE] it would seem. Is this a bug or have I got something wrong?

Using CD Ripper? there is a meta data option to automatically do this (se ID Tags & Meta Data Options).

Hi Spoon,

Yes, thx, I had previously disabled that option because I had planned for my script to handle both [album artist] and [artist] in the same way. Enabling it again has helped me to simplify the code AND avoid the "anomaly".

The automatic option appears not to affect [album artist], so I managed to rearrange the script to handle [album artist] and leave [artist] to the automatic option. Bingo!

Ta muchly!
