Hi y'all
First of all, to the admins: it would be great to have a version- and platform-independent section for scripting in general :)
Now, the wrap-up: I want to have a smartlist to list all duplicate singles. Singles are classified by having "Grouping contains SINGLES". Single's album fields are named as follows: <ALBUMNAME> - Single{ [<BITDEPTH>-<SAMPLERATE>]}.
I have already set up a Smartlist with modifier as follows: "Only duplicates of: Name, Artist". But this will also yield singles with completely different album names, which I do not want. It should also include the Album attribute, but only a substring.
Therefore, I would need to be able to condition a string (on query without saving) before the modifier is being applied, that is analogously, "Only duplicates of: LEFT([Album],n)"
An alternative would be to add a library field say "ALBUMTRUNCATED", which in turn I run through the modifier, but this I don't like.
Any hints?
