'Programmable Action' [REPLACE] don't work as excpected

[joecr]

The expression:

[REPLACE];,-,[tag]time[]

produces this string:

[REPLACE];,-,;09;42;07

But I expect:

09-42-07

what I'm doing wrong?

Re: 'Programmable Action' [REPLACE] don't work as excpected

The syntax is wrong. Should be [REPLACE];,-,[tag]time[][]

By the way, time is a property and not a tag.

As I said earlier, time is a property and not a tag.

Try this [REPLACE];,-,[time][]

Where/How are you using the Replace function? In Naming string (Win10 64-bit and dBpa R16.3 Beta 4), I get 102230 AM.

... also, what version of dBpoweramp and on which platform/OS?

... ... finally, this works in Naming string:
[GRAB]1,2,[time][]-[GRAB]4,5,[time][]-[GRAB]7,8,[time][][GRAB]9,11,[time][]
e.g. 10-31-44 AM

Re: 'Programmable Action' [REPLACE] don't work as excpected

I use dBpoweramp reference 16.2 64bit on german Windows 10

Also with [REPLACE];,-,[time][] I got 10;02;36

I want to create a timestamp within a directory path while ripping

i.e :

C:\output\20171017_10-02-36_COMPOSER\ ...

Try this instead:
[GRAB]1,2,[time][]-[GRAB]4,5,[time][]-[GRAB]7,8,[time][]

OR

[GRAB]1,2,[time][]-[GRAB]4,5,[time][]-[GRAB]7,8,[time][][GRAB]9,11,[time][]

Perfect! This works.

Many thanks for you help.

BTW

why works [GRAB] on a property but not [REPLACE]?

No idea. Perhaps Spoon can advise.
