how to merge two fields
« on: February 23, 2009, 07:25:37 pm »

How do I merge two fields together?

I found the listcombine([keywords],[people]) feature... but where do I enter it to execute the combine...

I went to tools/move copy fields, but it just copied one field over the other...

My goal:
I basically want to append a word to the beginning of a field...

To append "The " to the front of artist, pick any number of files and edit the artist (in-place edit in the list or use the the Tag Action Window) and enter:
=The [Artist]

The equal means "this is an expression", just like using Excel.

There's lots more you can do with this language:
