Hello to Everyone

I'm trying to create a smarlist with few rules like:

[Media Type]=[Video] [Filename (path)]="Example1" [Filename (path)]="Example2" ~sort=[Date]-d

When i choose only 1 filename path contains ...  its ok and gives results , but when i add the second filename path contains it empty the smartlist

What am im doing wrong?

Thanks

Separate the paths you want to search with a comma.  See the wiki for more information.

I have tried that as well , still it empty the smartlist

its like when i add another rule of filepath it searches for all of them together and not each seperate

Agree you should check the wiki. I believe even with commas in your expression it's reading as an ‘and’ statement so won’t return any results.

Im trying for more than half an hour to learn from the wiki but i cant get it done

can someone help?

You want something like this:

Code: [Select]

[Filename (path)]="Example1","Example2"
No spaces between the arguments.  You can also explicitly use an "or", but it seems that you have to use parenthesis around the arguments to the or like:

Code: [Select]

([Filename (path)]="Example1") or ([Filename (path)]="Example2")
Reference:  https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Search_Language#Grouping_and_Combining

I hope that helps get you started.

I think that parenthesis that you want is like this so both operators are covered with common parenthesis not both operators individually

[Media Type]=[Video] ([Filename (path)]="Example1" or [Filename (path)]="Example2") ~sort=[Date]-d

i tried that before only with the ()
