Auto-Replace "&" in "and" Options

[kugelrund]

Hi All,

first thanks for this nice tool - it works very good.

I export the Songinfo in a "musicinfo.txt" file - it works well
than i want to import the "musicinfo.txt" in a SWF file - it works too but makes problems with some text.

For Example:
in the musicinfo.txt = "Mike & Mechanics - Wonderfull"

But the SWF just shows me "Mike " and nothing more

Is it possible to replace all the "&" with "and" to bcome the right info in the swf like "Mike and Mechanics - Wonderfull"

Thanks from Austria

Robert

Looks like the problem is caused not by &, but by space, you can try using urlencode function ($ue), refer to AMIP help for details.

If the problem is caused by &, then you can replace it with "and" using:

CODE

$strrep(search,replace,subject)
Returns a string with all occurrences of search in subject replaced with the given replace value

It's also described in AMIP help.

Hi Serge, this one works

CODE

$strrep(&,and,%name)

Thank you very much!!!!

Just an FYI...

I just finished installing latest Skype with latest AMIP (to work with latest foobar2000). All works fine except for one situation: when the artist name (and/or, I suppose, a track name, too) contains an ampersand (&), which isn't that unusual of an occurrence. The %name info would display on the Skype status bar but not in the mood area (the box below the status bar which opens/closes (toggles) when you click on it). (It will show up if I click in the mood area, but that's not something I would typically want to do. Basically, it looks like Skype is waiting for something further if it sees an '&', so not a "problem" with AMIP but with Skype. )

After updating the format to auto-replace '&' with 'and' as specified above, it works fine.

Cool beans!
