Title: Smartlist Rules Problem
Post by: davidperetz on October 26, 2022, 03:51:18 am

Hello to Everyone

I'm trying to create a smarlist with few rules like:

[Media Type]=[Video] [Filename (path)]="Example1" [Filename (path)]="Example2" ~sort=[Date]-d

When i choose only 1 filename path contains ...  its ok and gives results , but when i add the second filename path contains it empty the smartlist

What am im doing wrong?

Thanks

Separate the paths you want to search with a comma.  See the wiki for more information.

Agree you should check the wiki. I believe even with commas in your expression it's reading as an ‘and’ statement so won’t return any results.

You want something like this:

Code: [Select]

[Filename (path)]="Example1","Example2"
No spaces between the arguments.  You can also explicitly use an "or", but it seems that you have to use parenthesis around the arguments to the or like:

Code: [Select]

([Filename (path)]="Example1") or ([Filename (path)]="Example2")
Reference:  https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Search_Language#Grouping_and_Combining

I hope that helps get you started.

I think that parenthesis that you want is like this so both operators are covered with common parenthesis not both operators individually

[Media Type]=[Video] ([Filename (path)]="Example1" or [Filename (path)]="Example2") ~sort=[Date]-d
