I am trying to organize by certification with a fall back to a folder titled "unrated" if there is no certification. I have tried for hours,,, searched and just can't figure it out. This doesn't work, just leaves the certification out completely.

I found this forum viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1194&p=7210&hilit=i ... mpty#p7210 which has some clues but doesn't really apply since I am not needing one of two options but needing to substitute my own text if an empty value is returned.

if not undefined {" $certification"}
else not undefined {imdb.certification}
(and if {imdb.certification} = 13, return PG-13, along with other similar replacements for other stuff-ups that imdb may return)
else ignore?

Any help would be appreciated. I was up until five in the morning and couldn't get it. Not familiar with the language which makes it nearly impossible to search. I know these are called formula and arguments, other than that I use general terms to search and what I have found is that everything is described in highly technical terms. How would you search for an existing answer for my problem, an example would help.

Here's the related docs: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1895

THANKS!!!!!

I just found the answer by accident, after looking at page you wrote, and fiddling around with it. Can you explain the function what - and + do in this situation?

I assumed the any would require more than one argument

1.
any(Closure...) does indeed require 2 or more arguments: is syntactic sugar for: where the first argument is a closure that yields the certification and the second argument a closure that yields a constant String value.

Which "this situation" are you referring to? I don't remember using +/- in my any(Closure...) examples.

a + b is the same as a.plus(b) so depending on the type of a, the plus method of that type does different things.

Where do I find all of this information. I looked at Groovy code,,,, I had one question and ended up with 30,000 more.

Unless you already have a good programming background with a bit of Java skills mixed in, understanding how things work internally can get tricky.

Here's all you need to know about Groovy syntax and semantics:
http://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/documentation/


e.g. What does "A" + "B" do? String Concatenation

e.g. Why does any{certification}{"A" + "B"} work the way it does? Closures

e.g. What happens when any{x}{y}{z} is called? syntax sugar and any(Object...)

Thanks rednoah! lots of useful information.
