hi, i cant find how to get the directory structure without the filename. i have a file with path:
C:\music\new\songone.mp3
i need
C:\music\new
in my copy command.

btw, i've seen there is some new tagz (like $tracknumber()) is there a new help file?

thanks for your time,

$replace(%_path_raw%,%_filename_ext%,)

Should do the tick for what you want to achieve.

If you want it without the file:// (or http://, or whatever) use %_path% instead.

juglesh, a while ago I made some copy command script and posted it here. Maybe try a forum search for "copy command AND rar" if possible (maybe "rar" is too short). It was a script to copy and extract files from archives.

That script handled the directories I think, give it a try.

Have fun with it if you find it
