Title: Tags from a tag
Post by: kroser8 on May 01, 2014, 10:09:51 am
Hi.
Sorry for bad english.))
Is it possible to delimit one tag at a few different tags?
For example, there is a tag "[Date]^[Artist]^[Name]". I need to delimit it with the delimiter "^".

Sure.  Select your files, and edit the tag field you want, and enter:

   =[Date]^[Artist]^[Name]

If you might explain what you are trying to ultimately accomplish, there might be better suggestions.

My tag is: "1984^stevie Wonder^i Just Called To Say I Love You"
I need to divide it: Date=1984; Autor=stevie Wonder; Name=i Just Called To Say I Love You.
as well as receive from the file name tags.

Use Library Tools > Fill Properties From Filename... and Enter:

   [Date]^[Artist]^[Name]

if the value is being pulled and split from the file's name.  If it is coming from another tag, please indicate which tag.

Yes it comes from another tag.
My tag is created in the tools-options-library & folders-menage library fields.
I called tag "00". However, the name of the tag does not matter, the main thing - to get out of it the other tags, as in the file name.))

The name of the tag *does* matter - that's why I asked.  :-)

You need to use the expression language to split apart the field 00, and assign it to your other tags.  You're going to have to do this in 3 steps, one for each of the fields Date, Artist, and Name.

Edit the Date tag, and use the value:

   =listitem([00], 0, ^)

Do the same for Artist, but use 1 instead of 0, and then do the same for Name, using 2 instead of the 0 above.  These are the indexes into the field 00, treated like a list, each item separated by the ^ character.

You're a JRiver, aren't you?  Honorary, at least.  Or guilty by association...
