    vbscript - reading named tag

    Using vbscript, is there any way to read the value of a named property ("tag")?

    The only member function I see on http://www.dbpoweramp.com/developer-scripting-dmc.htm that operates by property name is Read ID Tag, but this says:

    Note this method is not compatible with VBScripting, instead use
    ReadIDTagElementValue

    and ReadIDTagElementValue doesn't do the same job.

    I am reluctant to resort to AudioProperties and thereby rely on undefined behaviour.

    Thanks.

    It is not possible to use VB scripting with that function, VB cannot handle the returned data types.

      I know that, thanks. That's why I was asking "Using vbscript, is there any way to read the value of a named property"?

      But now I find ReadIDTagElementValue returns the tag element name (key) as well as the value, so I'll settle for that. But due to the unsafety of it not using a reserved separator, if anyone has a better method, please do say. Thanks.
