Scripting: how to hide strings

Hi all. In a "Dockable Panels", I create this Track Info mod:

Code: [Select]
$if(%_trackinfo_notrack%,No track,
Title: %title%$char(10)Album: %album%)$char(10)
Album: %ORIGINAL ALBUM%  '('%ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE%')'$char(10)
Music: %COMPOSER%$char(10)
Lyrics: %WRITER%$char(10)
Publisher: %PUBLISHER%$char(10)
Comment: %Comment%


The problem is when a tag is empty, I get this output:
--------------------------
Title: bla bla
Album: bla bla
Music: ?
Lyrics: ?
Publisher: bla bla
Comment: ?
--------------------------
That is, it shows a '?' character in fields without relative tags.

Can I get a output that hide fields empty (in this manner):
-----------------------
Title: bla bla
Album: bla bla
Publisher: bla bla
-----------------------
(in pseudo-code: if tag is empty, then do not show relative field)

Thanks in advance.

There are two easy ways to do this. Either encapsulate your tag in brackets or place it inside an $if2() statement. For example change %ALBUM% to either [%ALBUM%] or $if2(%ALBUM%,)

Thanks, Yotsuya.

I trying your directions, and now '?' character is hidden. But is it possible to hidden the string "Album" too?

Just include the "Album" in the same brackets:
[Album: %ORIGINAL ALBUM%  '('%ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE%')'$char(10)]
