I think that is all the info that I need to give right?

So my problem is that I can't figure out how to get the if-else command to accept a filepath that has a space in it.
I have a folder where all my "currently complete, but not ready for Plex" media goes named "Media (Complete)"

what I'm currently using (which works):

Code: Select all

{file =~ /(Complete)/ ? {f[0..3]} : {folder}}/{series.name.colon(" - ").slash("-").replaceTrailingBrackets()} ({y})/{episode.special ? 'Specials/' : 'Season '+s.pad(2)}/{series.name.colon(" - ").slash("-").replaceTrailingBrackets()}.{y}.{order.airdate.s00e00}{file =~ /Anime/ ? '.#'+absolute.pad(4) : null}.{episode.title.colon(" - ").slash("-")}.[{airdate.format("MMM-dd-yyyy")}]
This code also works:

Code: Select all

{file =~ /Media/ ? {f[0..3]} : {folder}}/{series.name.colon(" - ").slash("-").replaceTrailingBrackets()} ({y})/{episode.special ? 'Specials/' : 'Season '+s.pad(2)}/{series.name.colon(" - ").slash("-").replaceTrailingBrackets()}.{y}.{order.airdate.s00e00}{file =~ /Anime/ ? '.#'+absolute.pad(4) : null}.{episode.title.colon(" - ").slash("-")}.[{airdate.format("MMM-dd-yyyy")}]
but I can't figure out how to make this work (which is what I want, as it will prevent any mismatches with the if-statement.

Code: Select all

{file =~ /Media (Complete)/ ? {f[0..3]} : {folder}}/{series.name.colon(" - ").slash("-").replaceTrailingBrackets()} ({y})/{episode.special ? 'Specials/' : 'Season '+s.pad(2)}/{series.name.colon(" - ").slash("-").replaceTrailingBrackets()}.{y}.{order.airdate.s00e00}{file =~ /Anime/ ? '.#'+absolute.pad(4) : null}.{episode.title.colon(" - ").slash("-")}.[{airdate.format("MMM-dd-yyyy")}]
Anybody have any idea?

P.S. I've included screenshots of a test folder I set up for this exact problem.

I see. So you're saying this particular bit doesn't work as expected?

Code: Select all

file =~ /Media (Complete)/

Note that file =~ /.../ expects a Regular Expression, and not a String Literal value, meaning (...) is interpreted as Regex capturing group:

This would be a solution:

Code: Select all

file =~ /Media \(Complete\)/
or

Code: Select all

file =~ /Media [(]Complete[)]/

Test Case:

Code: Select all

{'Media (Complete)' =~ /Media [(]Complete[)]/ ? 'MATCH' : 'NO MATCH'}
