Forward slash '/' in %title% creates a folder

[b0nk]

Forward slash '/' in %title% creates a folder and a file in the lyrics directory

Steps to reproduce

1. Play a track with a title containing a '/' example "foo/bar"
2. Save lyrics using the default scheme "[%artist% - ][%title%]"
3. Notice the lyrics directory now has a new folder with "ArtistName - foo" and inside it a file called "bar.txt"

Expected behavior

The slash in the filename should be replaced by another character (example "ArtistName - foo_bar.txt")

Versions

• foobar2000 version: 1.6.16
• OpenLyrics version: 1.5

Additional information

I am using foobar on linux under wine

I don't consider this a bug at all, and applying a "fix" to a behavior intended by design (since this is how TF works) would be counterproductive, unless it's clearly documented/optional. You should replace yourself those chars via TF. https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Title_Formatting_Reference#.24replace.28str.2Csearch.2Creplace.29

That's how it works on every other plugin or instance where TF is used, so don't really understand what you were expecting here... and all other lyrics plugins work the same.

Thanks for the help @regorxxx, I'm content to point people to that as a workaround (I just wasn't sure if titleformat provided a nice way to do it).

So I replaced the file name format like so: [%artist% - ]$replace(%title%, '/', '_') and it still creates a folder.

The example in the picture: Streetlight Manifesto - Point/Counterpoint

What am I doing wrong here?

Nevermind, I can't use spaces or apostrophes This one works: [%artist% - ]$replace(%title%,/,_)

My recommendation: $ascii($replace(%title%,\,,/,))
