Title: Commands or Functions
Post by: idhToronto on December 11, 2010, 08:35:17 am

I have finally been able to spend time recently to really get use out of MC and the more I learn the more i like.

I recently discovered expressions and when setting thumbnail text I can use a CLEAN function. Where can I find a list of commands/functions that can be used - if such a list exists.

I am hoping that I can do things like Trim text etc for example - if i create a playlist of Complete Works and the text displayed is Complete Work.Nutcracker; Complete Work.Christmas Oratorio - I would be able to trim everything up to the . and just display the remainder.

If there is a command/function list I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Ian

One tip, just in case you didn't know, is that you can use the expressions right in the "details view" of MC.  If you select a set of files, hit F2 (to "edit" that text) and type something like:

=RemoveRight([Name],6)

And then hit enter, it will process that tag on all of the files you've selected.
