if...contains? expression help (regex?)
« on: July 10, 2014, 04:19:52 pm »
i'm assuming this is a regex question, which i have yet to understand properly

i've tagged all my music with keywords, one of which is compilation, and one of which is collaboration

i'd like to use an expression to force any album CONTAINING the keyword "collaboration" to use primary artist as album artist, and likewise any album containing "compilation" to force (multiple artists) as the album artist.

looking through the expression wiki it appears i need a regex, but again i can't figure this one out.  part of writing these posts is talking myself through it so maybe i'll get it...but any hints are welcome!  thanks
