Diskwriter output format

I guess this is my first post here and I did a search with no results so please be kind... 

OK,

What diskwriter formatting string for filenames should I use to make this pattern:

Code: [Select]
Artist\Album\Disc X\Tracknumber - Title


Right now I'm using:

Code: [Select]
%artist%\%album%\$num(%tracknumber%,2) - %title%


which woks fine for single disc albums, but I can't make it work when there is more than one disc.

I'm using the %disc% tag to specify the disc number.

Also, the format should be the same for single and multi disc albums, being:

Code: [Select]
Artist\Album\Disc X\Tracknumber - Title

for albums with several discs

and

Code: [Select]
Artist\Album\Tracknumber - Title

for single disc albums.

Thanks!

Code: [Select]
%artist%\%album%\$if(%disc%,Disc %disc%'\',)\$num(%tracknumber%,2) - %title%


Or something to that effect.

Wow.. That was fast!

I've tried that already, but it doesn't work...

Here's the result:

Code: [Select]
F:\MP3\Keith Jarrett\Always Let Me Go\[SYNTAX ERROR IN FORMATTING STRING]\[SYNTAX ERROR IN FORMATTING STRING]\01 - Hearts in space.mp3

Code: [Select]
%artist%\%album%\[Disc %disc%]\$num(%tracknumber%,2) - %title%

A little shorter and should work both on foobar2000 0.8.3 and 0.9 beta.

Edit: Even avoids the formatting error.

darn you foosion

I was gonna do basically exactly what you did, but I didn't know how it'd react to a // if there was no %disc%
