Summary	0015355: Mask: Some $if Masks fail for characters comparison
Description	Some $if Masks fail for characters comparison eg. $if(<ARTIST:1>=A..Z,<ARTIST:1>,#) always fail. Expected it to work exactly as $if(<ARTIST:1>=1..10,0-9,<ARTIST:1>) for numbers. More Complex example: "$if($Left($Upper($RemovePrefix(<Album Artist>)),1)=1..10,0-9 #,$if($Left($Upper($RemovePrefix(<Album Artist>)),1)=A..Z,$Left($Upper($RemovePrefix(<Album Artist>)),1),$Left($Upper($RemovePrefix(<Album Artist>)),1),0-9 #))\$MovePrefix(<Album Artist>)\<Date> - <Album>\<Track#:3>"

peke 2019-01-30 18:04 developer ~0052350	Look that you are right althrum this one works it is too nested like you pointed: Mask like "c:\$if($Left($Upper($RemovePrefix(<Artist>)),1)=1..10,0-9 #,$if($Left($Upper($RemovePrefix(<Artist>)),1)=A,$Left($Upper($RemovePrefix(<Artist>)),1),$Left($Upper($RemovePrefix(<Artist>)),1),0-9 #))\<Auto Number>" We should support (..) for Numeric Values and A..Z for ASCII Latin Charset.

jiri 2021-05-25 12:53 administrator ~0063461	Doesn't seem to be needed. Leaving unresolved, should we ever need to further expand masks, I'd rather consider more generic enhancements, e.g. fully JS backed script functions that's result in endless possibilities.
