,$get(bleu)This is your first time listening to this song.)

ok this is the info on the statistics window but it is currently in australian mode

which means it shows shit in my foobar panel. It doesnt change the date but it changes the year etc

so i need an European version of it

if it matters anyhow then Estonian version

GMT +2 and date format could also be date/month/year
thanks in advance

Are you sure that you are storing the data in %play_date% and %play_time% in the same format that the string expects (YYMMDD and HHMM)?

Can you please post the format you are using, and what the result is after this string has formatted it.

Muchos bananas.

... and how are you storing your data?

Seeing as you are so adept with screenshots let's see one of the Properties panel for the MP3 highlighted ("My Everything").

Are so many smilies really necessary? What happened to the gold old full stop or exclamation mark? Ho hum.

Edit: And while I'm on one how about some bloody capital letters? I see "European" and "Estonian" deserve one, but what about the beginning of your sentences. They have feeling too you know.

@Syxxpacc

Gramatical differences aside, we need to see the format of your %play_date% and %play_time% tags in order to:

Confirm that the problem is a %play_date%/%play_time% format conflict, and not the script
Write you a new script that will format your data the way you want it (which is yet to be confirmed).

lol we are getting picky now aren't we...

Alright now I'm just being annoying hehe.

Overuse of smilies is the digital equivalent of teenage girls ending all their sentences with a minimum of three exclamation marks.

Oh I see, but Australians don't deserve one or have feelings?

Curiously the capital of Australia has always been a source of misunderstanding it seems.

Is it Melbourne? Is it Syndney? No, it's bloody Canberra - a place I've never heard any mention of, except that it's the capital of Australia.

Australians do definately deserve a capital - but it should be Sydney.

Haha. Yes, Canberra hardly deserves the title (which it holds because it is the location of our federal parliament, I assume).

And no, Melbourne is the One True City.

http://www.mg.edu.ee/~syxxpacc/tags.JPG if this is what u mean

Synthetic Soul

Feb 24 2005, 13:37

Yes, that will do. Thank you.

Your current tag formats are %D%M%y and $H$M$S.

From my brief decyphering of the script it appears to require the formats as %y%M%D and $H$M or $H$M$S.

Therefore, if you change the %play_date% format to %y%M%D (from %D%M%y) the script should work as intended.

The question is now: do you want the result in the format <weekday> <day> <monthname> <year>, or some other format?

Edit:

It doesnt change the date but it changes the year etc

so i need an European version of it

Considering the variable name "bleu" I would suspect the author was French, and therefore European. They may be Canadian or Nigerian of course, but I would put my money on French.

By European format, do you mean DD/MM/YY? Isn't DDDD DD MMMM YYYY more aesthetic?

The current string should output in that format, and 95% does. The only issue I can see from your screenshot is that the weekday and day have no space between them. I think somehow in copying and pasting you've just lost a space.

Try using the code below:

CODE

$puts(total,$add($right(%play_date%,2),$select($substr(%play_date%,3,4), $if($strcmp($left(%play_date%,2),04),0,1),$if($strcmp($left(%play_date%,2),04),3,4),4,0,2,5,0,3,6,1,4,6),6,$left(%play_date%,2))) $select($add(1,$mod($add($get(total),$div($left(%play_date%,2),4)),7)),Saturday,Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday) 
$num($right(%play_date%,2),1)$if($strcmp($right(%play_date%,2),01),er) $select($substr(%play_date%,3,4),January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November,December) 20$left(%play_date%,2)$get(bleu) at $left(%play_time%,2):$right($left(%play_time%,4),2),$get(bleu)This is your first time listening to this song.)
