ExtractFields v0.1.4 [MM2+3]

[nynaevelan]

I'm at a loss here, I have no idea why it is not being picked up in MM. Did you copy everything from the first post and put it in the ExtractFields.vbs file??

hey, what a great script... does anybody know how i can add "involvedpeople" to the fields being written in! I would like to copy "artist" into "involved people".

I'd like to second that request, and also add "Conductor" and the new custom fields (4+5). They're in the "field name" drop down box okay, but I can't work out how to alter the script to use them as masks.


EDIT: Actually, I've just worked out how to incorporate the custom fields (adding codes "%J" and "%k" to the script), but I'm still having difficulty getting "Conductor" working, even by adding code "%ZN" and it's associated Dictionary entry. When using "Conductor" as the field name and any mask and the direction set to "<--" (ie. error when writing to the field), I always get:

"Error #1006 - MS VBScript compilation error
Expected ')'
File: "C:\Prog.....\Extractfields.vbs", Line:317, Column: 12"

I've no idea what it's referring to... I tried counting to that line, but it seems empty.

When setting the direction back to the standard "-->" so: Conductor --> <Custom x>, it all works fine (ie. reading the Conductor field).

On the other hand, whenever I try to use the Conductor field within a mask to write to any field name (ie. direction "<--"), I always get an error executing script event - I guess which means I haven't set it up correctly. Changing direction back to "-->" (and thus writing to <Conductor>) brings up no error, but neither does it make any changes. I wish I knew more about scripting and so could fix it myself

Checked...and checked....and there is only one version of the script and that is correctly named in the Auto Folder.

Any more ideas?? Its gotta be something obvious!!!

Hi I'm having the same problem here. I've installed the script as instructed and I STILL can't find it. I'm using version 3.03.1183.

LOL!

Another case of speaking too prematurely.

I found it now.

I had to make sure I CLOSED the Monkey first, before installing the script.

Cheers!

Would it be possible to add the two fields disc # and track # to the vbs? I have tried changing it but i get an error in the end.

Thanks again for this, Steegy.

Does it work in MM3.1 ?

I've got it installed and it appears in the Tools>Scripts Menu (with the hotkey correctly shown) but nothing happens when I use the hotkey or try to run it from the Menu.

For me works it fine in 3.1.xxx! At all the time, one of my favorite Scripts Thanks a lot

This is one of my favorite scripts to use, but I really need it to include the Custom4 and Custom5 fields, any chance of that happening soon? Also the Play count field, I want to save that value in a custom field before I re-build the MM database, then restore it. And, it would be really great if the script could save the last settings used when it's closed, and restore them when it's next opened. I could go on with more ideas, but these are at the top of my wish list!!

Thanks again for a great script!

this scripts has disappeared from my scripts menu... it was working the other day, ive tried reinstalling nothing, any ideas?

Has anyone tried this script in v3.2.0 1294????

Quickly browsing through the code it looks like it requires v3.1...but I could be wrong. I copy and pasted the code into Wordpad and saved it into the Scripts>Auto folder.

Upon starting MM, I get the following errors.


Click OK on that one, and this pops up.

You can't use wordpad, it has to be Notepad.

Thank you, that was it. I never realized the rich text formatting was present unless you saved to a RTF format file with wordpad.

I need some help. I read the instructions on using this script and there must have been some things I didn't quite understand. So let me show you what I'm trying to achieve with the script, and if someone could let me know what I'm doing wrong, that would be awesome.

My Goal: Add the Year Tag on to the front of the selected Album Tag info.

So in this example where I was trying to use the script, and I didn't see anything happen here's what I wanted to see happen.

Before Running Script:
Album Tag= Sinner on the selected Tracks.

After Running Script:
Album Tag= [2001] Sinner on the selected tracks



So what am I doing wrong? I click on the Extract Fields button and I don't see any changes in the Album Tag that is displayed in the column shown. Or am I totally missing the function of this script where it only allows you to remove parts of the tag info and not add to it?

Rednroll, click on the arrow to reverse its direction:

Code: Select all

AlbumName <-- [<Year>] <Album>
