Title: Function Replace(...), parenthesis problem
Post by: llafriel on March 14, 2008, 12:38:32 pm

I'm trying to remove "(OST)" from my soundtrack albums in a view scheme. All my soundtracks have "(OST)" in their album names. So I try with this function:
   Replace([Album], (OST))
This removes "(OST", but adds "))" on the end of the album names. It seems the function ends when it sees the first right parenthesis. Is there a workaround for this?

You need to escape the parenthesis with a slash.

So:
Replace([Album], /(OST/))
