Masstager/move,rename or copy files strange behavi

I've tries to use something like this in filename format:
$replace($lower(ch'!'gfh\fghgfh\fghfgh\fhGGGfgh), ,_,char(44),_,!,_,char(39),_)

and it gives me a SYNTAX ERROR in move,rename or copy dialog in the preview on the left of main dialog.

But in other places where tagz are apropriate, this string works fine... Even in the move,rename or copy dialog this works fine in the subdialog to edit formating string.

Please help!!!

two "$" are missing.

Code: [Select]
$replace($lower(ch'!'gfh\fghgfh\fghfgh\fhGGGfgh), ,_,$char(44),_,!,_,$char(39),_)

But this doesn't work either... And only in rename, move, copy dialog...

I understood what $char(44) and (39) are... and now,

Code: [Select]
$replace($lower(%title%), ,_,',',_,!,_,'',_)


edit : I tried both in "move, rename or copy", and they worked fine. Seems like it's another.

Yes I also reproduced. I'd like to know how it is actually "ch'!'gfh\fghgfh\fghfgh\fhGGGfgh" (%artist%\%album%).

edit : I tried to replace "ch'!'gfh\fghgfh\fghfgh\fhGGGfgh" with %_path% and it worked.

Another example.

Code: [Select]
$lower($replace(%artist%, ,_,',',_,!,_,'',_))\
$lower($replace(%album%, ,_,',',_,!,_,'',_))\
$lower($replace(%title%, ,_,',',_,!,_,'',_))

Your problem might be that the masstagger/renamer uses the '\' character as an end of line char. This means that you cannot use '\' inside functions such as $lower(). In the example given, foobar would read the string as
Code: [Select]
$replace($lower(ch'!'gfh\
fghgfh\
fghfgh\
fhGGGfgh), ,_,char(44),_,!,_,char(39),_)

Since
Code: [Select]
$replace($lower(ch'!'gfh
is not a valid string, you get a syntax error.

The new masstagger in 0.9 beta does not have such a limitation.
