Scripting in Picard
This page describes a simple scripting language implemented in PicardQt.
Syntax
The syntax is derived from Foobar2000's titleformat. There are three base elements: text, variable and function. Variables consist of alpha-numeric characters enclosed in percent signs (e.g. %artist%
). Functions start with a dollar sign and end with an argument list enclosed in parentheses (e.g. $lower(...)
).
Variables
- {i} Not all of these variables are available for all files. Plugins or scripts can also create a new ones.
%title%
- Track title
%artist%
- Artist name
%artist_sortorder%
- Artist sortname
%album%
- Album title
%albumartist%
- Album artist name
%albumartist_sortorder%
- Album artist sortname
%tracknumber%
- Track number
%totaltracks%
- Total tracks on the album
%discnumber%
- Disc number
%totaldiscs%
- Total number of discs
%date%
- Release date
%musicbrainz_trackid%
%musicbrainz_albumid%
%musicbrainz_artistid%
%musicbrainz_albumartistid%
%compilation%
- 0 for single artist albums, 1 for multiple artist albums
%asin%
- Amazon ASIN
%composer%
%conductor%
%ensemble%
%arranger%
%lyricist%
%remixer%
%producer%
%engineer%
%releasetype%
%releasestatus%
Functions
$if(if,then,else)
- If
if
is not empty, it returnsthen
, otherwise it returnselse
.
$if2(a1,a2,a3,...)
- Returns first non empty argument.
$lower(text)
- Returns
text
in lower case.
$upper(text)
- Returns
text
in upper case.
$left(text,num)
- Returns first
num
characters fromtext
.
$right(text,num)
- Returns last
num
characters fromtext
.
$num(num,len)
- ..
$replace(text,search,replace)
- ..
$rsearch(text,pattern)
- ..
$rreplace(text,pattern,replace)
- ..
$num(text,length)
$unset(context, name)
- Unsets the variable
name
.
$set(context, name, value)
- Sets the variable
name
to
value
.
$get(name)
- Returns the variable
name
(equivalent to
%name%
).
$trim(text[,char])
- Trims all leading and trailing whitespaces from
text
. The optional second parameter specifies the character to trim.
$add(x,y)
- Add
y
to
x
.
$sub(x,y)
- Substracts
y
from
x
.
$div(x,y)
- Divides
x
by
y
.
$mod(x,y)
- Returns the remainder of
x
divided by
y
.
$mul(x,y)
- Multiplies
x
by
y
.
$or(x,y)
- Returns true, if either
x
or
y
not empty.
$and(x,y)
- Returns true, if both
x
and
y
are not empty.
$not(x)
- Returns true, if
x
is empty.
$eq(x,y)
- Returns true, if
x
equals
y
.
$ne(x,y)
- Returns true, if
x
not equals
y
.
$lt(x,y)
- Returns true, if
x
is lower than
y
.
$lte(x,y)
- Returns true, if
x
is lower than or equals
y
.
$gt(x,y)
- Returns true, if
x
is greater than
y
.
$gte(x,y)
- Returns true, if
x
is greater than or equals
y
.
Examples
Use case 1: Disc numbers
$set(discnumber,$rsearch(%album%,\\\(disc \(\\d+\)\\\))) $set(album,$rreplace(%album%,\\s\\\(disc \\d+\\\),))
Use case 2: Artist names
$if($search(%album%,(feat. conductor)), $set(artist,%orchestra%))
- Stupid assumption that all classical albums have "feat. conductor" in the title, but it shows the idea. :)
Use case 3: Live tracks on live albums
$if($and($eq(%releasestatus%,Live),$not($search(%title,(\(live\))))),$set(title,%title% (live)))
Lower case filenames with underscores
$lower($replace(%albumartist%/%album%/$num(%tracknumber%,2) %title, ,_))
(Year) only if available
$if(%date%,\($left(%date%,4)\))
Remove "feat." from track titles
$set(title,$rreplace(%title%,\\s\\\(feat. [^\)]+\\\),))
