Hello to all those scripting gurus out in MP3Tag land! I am hoping that someone will be able to help me with directions....

I am hoping there is a way to trigger an action based on criteria of one field and then update another field.

For example:
Field CHECKDIGIT -- possible values -- 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5
Depending on value of CHECKDIGIT I want to update the DESCRIPTION field with a value.

So basically,

Select Case CHECKDIGIT
Case 0
DESCRIPTION = "This Value"
Case 1
DESCRIPTION = "A different Value"
...
End Select

What I am trying to do is find a way to fully automate some actions that I have ... Changing ARTISTS names to Last, First, moving The in ARTIST name to the end, etc. Right now I have what I named 'Master Format' that has about 30 separate actions in it but I can not find a way to incorporate what I described above.

I thought about nested $if() statements but alas have been unable to get that to work with the regexp for the field adjustments. So, since I know there is really no such thing in the MP3Tag scripting language for the Select...Case statement does anyone know of a way that I can accomplish this?

Oh, and one final question ... is there a way to have an action trigger a script??
