Hi,
lets say we have a file with a single line. that single line contains info about the song thats currently playing in a media player with the format "song" - artist.
for example
“Lay Your Love Down - Single Version” ― Wolf Gang
Lets say i want to extract ONLY the song name (so the part inside the quotations) i'm curious what the best way would be to do so.
myself i've tried to tackle this with $pos to check the position of the second quotation mark, only to find out that special characters (or their $chr versions) aren't supported by $pos
var %readsong $read(nowplaying.txt)
var %poschr34 $pos(%readsong, $chr(34))
set %song $mid(%readsong,2,$calc(%poschr34 - 1))
Also earlier when i used $pos in an earlier question i was advised to not use it.
Its kind of frustrating that this looks so easy, yet i have no answer to it, so help, as always, would be appreciated
