I am looking for more information/help about the programmable actions that are available in the Rule-based manipulation of tags. I have seen in forum posts mention of actions such as [GRAB], [RIGHT], [TRIM}, [REPLACE] etc but can find no online documentation that describes their usage and/or other available actions. I would be most grateful if someone can point me to any resource/help that provides comprehensive documentation on the facilities available in the Rule-based manipulation.

perhaps if you say what you are wanting to do? -
Re: ID Tag Update utility codec & Rule-based manipulation
The functions you refer to in your first post are naming functions, but these are, as the name suggests used for naming your ripped/processed files.
Documentation about the [ID Tag Update] utility is here, which contains exactly what you're trying to achieve.Last edited by simbun; 06-30-2022, 08:54 AM.Comment

Re: ID Tag Update utility codec & Rule-based manipulation
On this page under the heading 'Word / Character Replacement' it shows you how to replace/remove '(Disc 1)'; it doesn't remove it JUST from the album title though if that's your issue?
To be honest dBpoweramp isn't a particularly powerful post-rip tagging program, you're probably better off looking at mp3tag or foobar.Comment

Re: ID Tag Update utility codec & Rule-based manipulation
Yes I saw that but I really only want to remove this text from the album tag. A few years back I did something similar and found some info on how to do it using rule-manipulation but cannot find the thread that showed how to do it so I know it can be done.Comment

Re: ID Tag Update utility codec & Rule-based manipulation
If you don't find a better way I guess the following would work:
Code:If album=[anyvalue] SET album=[REPLACE]<comma_> Disc 1,,[album][] If album=[anyvalue] SET album=[REPLACE]<comma_> Disc 2,,[album][] ...
Certainly not as elegant as a regular expression in mp3tag, but I know very little around this functionality so if you do find a better way, do let us know.Comment
