+---Topic: Parsing the ending last two words from field started by nattjakt

Hello again, forum!
This is the format of my Album Tags:
Avatar 2cd Limited Edition 2004 TEST
I'd like to parse the 2004 to "Year" and TEST to "Comment" - problem is, among all my files, I've got any number of words before the two last ones (those two are always the last ones, though). I saw that the filter setup supports "begins with or ends with", but I haven't found any option anywhere else to focus on specifically "the last word of field".
Thanks for your time!

Yes, when the filenames contain no distinguishable separators between different fields, it is hard to make Mp3/Tag Studio parse out the right values in a generic way, sorry.

Hm - well, I've parsed the album tags out from folder paths on the form of:
Bondage_Fairies-What_You_Didnt_Know_When_You_Hired_Me-2006-TEST
So the separators are there, it's just that there are a random number of fields leading up to the last two ones. If it were just "Artist"-"Album"-2006-TEST that'd be no problem, it's just that there might be "Album-CD2-Concert" in place of just "Album".

Yes, but the problem is then that there still isn't any distinguishable separators between those different fields, i.e. the album and the "CD2", "concert" etc that you describe, right?

But does there really have to be that, though?
I mean, one can parse the first word (Hi) out of this:
Hi-How-Are-You
in your program - easily, too. There's no way to simply reverse that, so that I can parse the last word instead (You)?
Thank's a lot for your time, by the way!

I can't think of any way to do this with the currently supported fields. Of course it could be implemented, but it's always a compromise between simplicity and power with specific operations like this, and so far the need for this has been very small.

Dang
Understandable, of course!Ah, well, I'll figure out some other way to cut it out with some other software. I won't be happy, though - your software's still the best in the whole world, you know
