Fill Properties from Filename - Escapes?

How do I tell MC to extract file name information when the file name's got a [ or ] character in them? MC thinks it's a tag and refuses to match the filename.

Can you give a little more detail regarding what you are seeing exactly?
Without any escaping, it appears to be working OK at this end...

Try assigning "Love" to a field. I'd do Your [Field name] [, but you'll find that MC ignores the expression.

OK, I see what you mean...
You need to use the template method, then break the field down using the existing delimiters. For each word, separated by a space, that you wish to ignore, empty square brackets tell MC to ignore...

Oh, another thing just occurred to me. I don't need it yet, but thinking ahead -- what if I'd like to extract

You would use the square brackets as the delimiter...
If you simply entered
[[comment]]
into the template, all other fields would remain untouched, and comment would be populated with

Sweet, I'd remember that.
Gems like these should be somewhere in the Wiki, or is it already?

I'm honestly not sure. If you would like to add a page, you are welcome to use the images in this thread if needed.
