I whipped up this
regex expression
if(isEqual([Filename (path)],[[Year]] [Album],8),Correct, Incorrect)
To find albums not in a properly named folder.
However it marks the album \The Clash\[1977] The Clash\ as incorrect ?
Anyone know why that would be?

Weird,
I run a rename according to [[Year]] [Album]. It actually accepted and changed "[1977] The Clash" to "[1977] The Clash" and the files moved to Correct in the above regex expression.
I checked the physical folder, F2 in explorer to see if there were spaces ... it was literally "[1977] The Clash".
? ?

This works fine for me here. See attached.
Do you have the correct year? Does [Album] contain the year also? For the expression to work, you need
[Year] = 1977
[Album] = The Clash
Technically, you should escape the outer brackets:
if(isEqual([Filename (path)], /[[Year]/] [Album],8), Correct, Incorrect)
so that MC doesn't try to re-evaluate the expansion of [Year].
Also, you mean "expression" and not "regex", as there is no regular expression here.

Yeh everything looked correct.
The thing is when it happens like that I don't think about gathering 'evidence', I start clicking around first. I ran the rename function and chuckled at the fact that it was going to rename to something identical and accepted it. Now, I can't reproduce it and it was the only folder that did it.
Ow ... doh! I have backups. It's midnight now but I'll get back on it tomorrow.
-
This just proves I need to go to bed... the tag [Year] is listed as 1978 in the backup files.
I don't know how many times I can overlook something so simple :-[

The 70's were a blur anyway.
