Quoting from the other thread:
Is it possible to accumulate twice the same field- like this?
This is the source "M:\Musik\Buckethead\01 - Worms For The Garden (Buckethead Pikes #26).flac"
The final result should be in the Album tag: Pikes #26 - Worms For The Garden
When I use Fill Properties from Filename - in filename:
ead [Album])
I get: Pikes #26
When I use: -[Album](
I get: Worms for the Garden
Both are fine and correct for me, but how to combine both phrases in one time to get: Pikes #26 - Worms For The Garden.
That's rather unusual since you have several fields mixed together. Is this pattern repeated for many albums that you have? If so, you can develop an expression that will pull out what you want. I would do this outside of the Fill Properties From Filename tool. I'd just do it in the Tagging Window.
Because I'm me, I'd use a regex expression to do it. Something like:
=regex([filename (name)], /#-\s*(.+)\(Buckethead (.+)\)#/,-1,0)[R2] - [R1]
That expression is TOTALLY untested and probably won't work. It's just an illustration.
I guess it depends on how many of these you have and how regular the pattern is in the filename as to whether or not it's worth the time to develop the regex (or other techniques) to pull this information out of the file name.
Good luck.
Brian.
