Title: Expression help: How do I write 'is not in the range' ?
Post by: wig on January 04, 2012, 08:38:39 am

I'm trying to use an 'AND' rule in a mix expression. I want to do something like this,

([Date]=<3y [Bitrate]=1-128)

But I want to exclude the Bitrate range instead of include it. The exclude search term "-" doesn't seem to work with a integer range.

This is just an example, btw. I'm actually working with a custom Integer field but trying to achieve the same result.

Any ideas?

just use two bitrate rules that specify exclusion range...

Technically not in the range of 1-128 would be all bitrates greater than 128. 

   ([Date]=<3y [Bitrate]=>128)

Unless you're worried about bitrates of 0, so you can use OR:  bitrate < 1 or bitrate > 128

   [Date]=<3y ([Bitrate]=<1 or [Bitrate]=>128)

Another more meaningful example of bitrate not in the range of 128 to 320:

   [Date]=<3y ([Bitrate]=<128 or [Bitrate]=>320)

That's the winner for me. It's actually a custom rating system I use, and I want to include unrated tracks (0 values).

Thanks for the patience and the help, MrC. You too, mark_h.
