Title: Ignoring articles in an expression
Post by: stubbo on May 10, 2018, 06:41:01 am

Can you specify to ignore articles in an expression?

I have panes set up where I am want to group artists by their initial....so....

mid([Album Artist],0)

But this does not strip the article from the artist name, so although all my bulk lists ignore the articles when sorting I can't exclude them in the expression when I calculate my own values.

Is there an expression that could do this...for example, something like.....

mid(ignoreArticles([Album Artist]),0)

That would solve a lot of problems for me.

Or is there a new initial mechanism that does the job?

Never mind...found it ....

mid(NoArticles([Album Artist]),0)

That did the job! I knew you wouldn't have missed that out!
