Is it possible to use an expression in the rename window to evaluate a field value and rename based on the outcome?

I have an [Album Version] field that I've been using to record the album release version. But the majority of albums don't have anything for that value though, so its empty.

I tried a couple of things, for instance:

Code: [Select]

[Artist]\/[[Year]/] [Album] if(isempty([Album Version]),,/([Album Version]/))

The preview works fine when [Album Version] has a value, but if its empty it adds (Unknown Album Version). I don't want it to add anything in that case but I can't seem to get it to work that way.

If anyone knows how to fix that I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

Delimit() should cover this, though you might have to use [Tag,0] for some values.

Code: [Select]

[Artist]\/[[Year]/] [Album]Delimit([Album Version,0],/),/ /()

That easy huh .

Works fine on a few samples I've tried, thank!

[Artist]\/[[Year]/] [Album] if(isempty([Album Version,0]),,/([Album Version]/))

Adding the ",0" to [album version] in your original expression would also have worked.

Using ",0" inside the field name tells MC to use the literal field contents. Before we got this, I would use isequal instead of isempty, asking, if the field contains 'unknown', output nothing, otherwise use the field.
