Functions $Contains and $Ismatch not working properly, or is it my fault?

[stardot]

Hi,

I am using the function $Contains to search for a certain word in the field <Artist>.

So if I wrote this in the artist filed : Artist with Artist

then I wrote in Virtual Tag $If($Contains(<Artist>,"with")="T", <Artist>,)

that does not work.

Why?

Thanks

Is the typo in "with" copied from your actual virtual tag? Also, Contains should be $Contains.

[stardot]

Oh this was a typo from me. But in the software it is written as it should be.

[psychoadept]

Hmm. It looks like it should work, then. Can you post a screenshot of the virtual tag with the results? (What you get if you click the [...] button by the virtual tag, and then "Preview".)

[stardot]

Sorry there is more to the characters involved in the field <Artist>.

It is actually : "Artist (feat. Artist)"

And then I put: $If($Contains(<Artist>,"feat")="T",<Title>,)             <----- This doesn't work.

The screenshot will still be the most helpful thing at this point.

As you can see, only track number is in the result, but the title is not there.

Could you explain what the bug was? I use lots of $Contains() and $IsMatch() functions and haven't had any issues with them, so if I was unconsciously working around a bug, it would be good to know what's going on, so I can adjust my functions accordingly. Thanks

Thank you very much it is working now.
