2.I would like to update following fields in mix.mp3 from file TAGS.txt:

-Title
-Artist
-Album
-Track number
-Year
-Genre
-Subtitle
-Comment

3.Add cover art:

Hey Costa,

Please don’t post the same question to multiple topics.

I’ve been busy and haven’t gotten back to that yet.

All you needed to do was post to the original topic to “bump” it, and I would have been notified.

Hey Chris,

I would like to ask you to modify a little bit the script.
I just need to read text file to multiple variables:

  • the issue is that some variables are couple lines or paragraphs long.

Here is an example:
Title:

New song

Artist:

New Name

Artist Web Name:

newname

Introduction:

Hello new name,dflevnevlnevln
new name

sdfnvlnflnvfln
vfnefnlnvlnfvfv

bye and etc

Tags:

EDM Electro DeepHouse DJ
House Dance Tropical

I would like to get:

Title:

%Title%

Artist:

%Artist%

Artist Web Name:

%artistwebname%

Introduction:

%introduction%

Tags:

%tags%

Hey Costa,

It works for me with your test file.

Did you change the path of the Read File action?

Hey Chris,

I need your help, please!
same script but somehow in result I have space in between %introduction% and %artistwebname% that I try to eliminate. I don't get space in between %artist% and %introduction%.

here is what I would like to achieve in result (see script example):

Amnesia in Ibiza, Spain.
@best ever

Thank you!

Hey Costa,

If you look in the introduction variable you see there is trailing whitespace.

The regex in the macro doesn't trim it.

You could easily fix that yourself by using the Filter Variable action with the Trim Whitespace option on the introduction variable.

But let's try adjusting the regex:

(?ms)^Title:\n{2}(.+)\n{2}^Artist:\n{2}(.+)\n{2}^Artist Web Name:\n{2}(.+)\n{2}^Introduction:\n{2}(.+?)\n*^Tags:\n{2}(.+)^Tracklist:\n{2}(.+)
