$ifequal for text?

Hey everyone,

Currently trying to change my Foobar layout, and I need something along the lines of:

Code: [Select]
$ifequal(%RANDOMTAG%,Part A,%RANDOMTAG%,)


However, it seems $ifequal only works for numbers, and not words. Is there any way I can code something which does the same thing as $ifequal but for text? I've spent ages looking at the Title Formatting page, but I've had little luck. 

Thanks!

Hmm... Extract the number part of the string and then do the comparison?

This particular tag I want to use won't always have numbers in it, though.

$if($stricmp(%randomtag%,Part A),%randomtag%,...)

New problem, may as well ask in this thread given it's still active...

I'd like %discside% (new tag I've made for specific purpose) to be, say, Side A, Side B, Disc 1, Disc 2, Part I, Part II etc, but for it to only display if the track number is 1.

So essentially, in the UI, it'd look like:

Code: [Select]
1 Side A
2
3
4
5
1 Part II
2
3
4
5
6


To display (when appropriate) the Side A/Side B bit, I've written this, but it doesn't seem to work...

Code: [Select]
$if($and(%DISCSIDE%,$ifequal(%tracknumber%,1)),%DISCSIDE%,)


Does anyone know why, or how I can fix it? I've tried to make it so that an $if function only works when there is a tag present for DISCSIDE and TRACKNUMBER=1, but nothing's happening...

We don't bump things around here, and especially not on the same day.
Your question is no more important than anyone else's.
