Hi there,
first of all, sorry for my english.

I use the following syntax for grabbing episodes from TheTVDB

v:/{ (~emby>> az).ascii() }{dc > 1 ? " - part$di" : null}

But there are episode names that are too long for the linux filesystem. To cut the names i wanted to use

.take(100)

---------------------------------------------------

Sadly, I am not able to merge both expressions.

v:/{ (~emby>> az).ascii().take(100)}{dc > 1 ? " - part$di" : null}

doesn't give a result.

Thanks a lot for your help.

take() doesn't work on File objects, so you need to convert it to a String first:

{ emby.ascii().toString().take(100) }

works perfectly
thanks a lot for your help
