| Summary | 0019347: Masks: Add ability to get the POS and LAST position of String within String | ||||
| Description | In masks there should be a way to Add ability to get the POS of String within String eg. $pos(string,what) = $pos(<Album>, :) -> Album: "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack: Footloose" = 35 $last(string,what) = $pos(<Album>,oo) -> Album: "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack: Footloose" = 42 It will be very useful along with $len(string) | ||||

From what I see here: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=102546 user is rather asking for something like $CutBefore(string,what) i.e. tracked in 0019346:0069166 |
|
|
Assigned back to me as the $POS will be needed to find whether a character/substring is part of the string at all. e.g. $if( $pos(:,<album>) > 0, $Trim($RightFrom(<album>, :)), <album>) |
|
|
Fixed in 5.0.4.2662 |
|
|
Not sure what exactly has been implemented here but $pos() always returns 0. Used $pos(<Album>,:) on an Album with : |
|
|
As per my example above it is $pos(what, string) -- > not $pos(string, what) i.e. use $pos(:,<album>) instead |
|
|
Verified 2663 |
|
|
Why is it $pos(what, string) not $pos(string, what), it seems that goes counter to all other methods available. |
|
|
OK, it was because e.g. in Delphi/Pascal the pos is defined as Pos(const SubStr, Str) But you are right that for consistency with mask functions in MM it's better to exchange the params, so exchanged to $pos(string, what) in build 2674 |
|
|
On 2764: 1 $pos(<album>, :) gives length of Album + 1 instead of expected : position (space is allowed in other masks) 2 $pos(<album> , :) gives length of Album + 2 instead, but $pos(<album> ,:) works |
|
|
Good catch. => Fixed in 2675 |
|
|
Confirmed on 2675. |
