Substitute is not working. The "0" still shows up. [solved]

Post by Mor3bane »

For some reason this Substitute is not working. The "0" still shows up.

This is with the AIMP player.

Not sure is a space is in there or what?

Code: Select all

[TrackNum]
Measure=NowPlaying
PlayerName=#PlayerName#
PlayerType=Number
Substitute="^0$":"Num"

There are many ways to be different - there is only one way to be yourself - be amazing at it

The law of averages says what it means; even if you get everything right, you will get something wrong. Therefore; self managing error trapping initiates another set of averages - amongst the errors, some of them will not be errors, instead those instances will appear to be "luck". One cannot complain of the 'appearance' of 'infinite regress of causation', even if it does not have a predictable pattern, only that it requires luck to achieve.

Hi Mor3bane

Are you missing RegExpSubstitute=1?

Substitute="0":"Num"
Yes, but then every appearance of 0 says Num then so "10" would be "1Num"

Thats why is went with string start "^" and end "$".

Let's clarify a few things. In the Substitute="^0$":"Num" option, ^0$ means 0 and nothing else. ^ means the beginning of the expression, while $ means its end. So with this substitution, 0 is substituted only if there is nothing else but a 0. If either before the 0, or after it there are other characters as well, the substitution doesn't happen.
Using such regular expression substitutions, requires to add a RegExpSubstitute=1 option to the measure, as well, because the default value of the RegExpSubstitute option is 0.
If you add a simple Substitute="0":"Num", all occurrences of 0 will be substituted with Num, so for instance 100 will be substituted with 1NumNum.
