Hi -

I'm trying to use the advanced mode of the parsing templates feature (where I create the tag from the filename) and I can't figure out the following:

My filename is as follows:
gd1972-07-26Newd1t01.mp3

I am trying to extract the TrackNy to be "101".  Here's my bad template:

<TRASH>-<TRASH>-26Newd<tracknr:1-1[|]>t<tracknr:2-2[|]>.mp3

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!  Thank you!

Your mistake is that you are using fixed length fields without "anchoring" them to any normal field. Also, in this case you don't even need fixed length fields. The easiest working modification of your template is:

<TRASH>-<TRASH>-26Newd<tracknr-1[|]>t<tracknr-2[|]>.mp3

Awesome.  Thanks for the lesson -- that works beautifully. Question: By putting the "<TrackNr-1[|]>t..." part, does that take everything up until it finds a static "t" in the string?

Simply put, your product is awesome -- the help file is very informative and it has been able to do EVERYTHING that I want.  I just registered/purchased my copy.  Thank you for creating such a stellar product, with straight-forward well written help.  :)

I'm glad you like it, thanks for the kind words and thanks for registering. :)

And yes, it will take everything until it finds a "t" (or whatever else you have put as a separator).
