Hi All,

I use the attached method to display folders in Video, like Films, History etc based on the Windows folder name. Works really well.

Note that only drive V: is covered.

How can I extend this to include say, drive B:?

Cheers.

http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Seach_Expressions#Grouping_and_Combining is a good place to start

looks like you would just use AND in the expression and parentheses

you can't to my knowledge do this through the wizard though (as in your second screen shot. You should hit the import/export box (through the customize view dialogue) and type or paste the expression. Afterwards in the wizard pop-up you will see parentheses added around the applicable rules.

Hi and thanks for the reply.

I tried to replace:

replace([Filename (path)], V:\)&datatype=

with

replace(

[Filename (path)], V:\ AND B:\)&datatype=

But it doesn't work.

Is that what you meant? 

[/list]

Anyone?

NAS 1 nearly full!

So I need to include NAS 2 now ...

If I understand you correctly
you have a NAS mapped to a drive e..g V:\
you add a second NAS also mapped to a drive letter e.g. W:\
You want to get rid of the drive letter in the view

Try RemoveLeft([Filename (path)],3)

why don't you use just ":\"?
":" is not allowed in folder name so you should be able to get rid of any drive letter

EDIT my suggestion won't eliminate the drive letter itself... you would need some sort of regex for that to work I guess. don'remember if MC has any regex capabilities

EDIT2 it does: http://wiki.JRiver.com/index.php/Media_Center_expression_language#Regex.28.E2.80.A6.29:_Regular_expression_pattern_matching_and_capture
so it should be doable with a regex search for any single char followed by ":\"

EDIT3
I should have read Vincent suggestion before: looks a lot easier...

Not exactly.

I would like to add Drive B:\ to the existing Drive V:\ under the title "Films" ............

You should try with OR since no filepath will have both driveletters at the same time.
No idea if your syntax is correct though

not really because you didn't put in the parenthesis (and don't use the wizard, use the import box)

Code: [Select]

(replace([Filename (path)], V:\)  AND (B:\)&datatype=[list])
this seems to get converted to this (look at the pane which includes parentheses outside of the dropdown boxes)


now this could be wrong LOL I can't test this right now, should be pretty close -- hope you have backups and the number of parenthesis are correct
