Normal topicFile to Tag > Variables > Action > Set

I am attempting to create an action to process files I've purchased from DGM Live. They name their files like this: kc19940928-0101-VROOOM.flac. So, I have a File to Tag template setup up like this: ❨Variable 0❩\?-❨Variable 1❩\?-❨Title❩. I call this File to Tag template in an action. I copy Variable 0 to a named variable called "Year," and remove the "kc" from the beginning of it. I then copy Variable 1 to a named variable called "Disc".

I've been able to get the "Year" variable to add " [Live 9/28/1994]" to the end of the titles after processing by inserting a "-" and then splitting the variable with "-" as the delimiter. I repeat this method to get the month and date.

I've attempted to get the same results with the "Disc" variable. I'm inserting a "-" at index 2, which would give me "01-01". I would then split this with "-" as the delimiter and save the right side as the track number. However, I'm getting Disc 1 and Track 1 for every track even though the file numbers increment. What am I missing?

The function I'm using to set the disc and track is "Set" with \<Disc> and \<Track>. One Set function for the Disc field with \<Disc> and another Set function for the Track field with \<Track>.

I've processed files that have different performance dates, and the dates in the titles always process correctly, but I can never get the disc or track to give me anything but 1 and 1. As always, any help would be appreciated.

If you go to the Action Manager, select your action, do a right click and from the context menu do a Smart Export, the action and all used Yate items (such as the FTT template) will be exported. If you send me the exported plist file, I can take a look. It's far easier than figuring it without the code 🙂

The action was sound. Just a tiny tweak to get it working.
