Split into multiple lines for easier viewing. ;)<br />

<code><pre>?set('V', if(v>1, 'v'+v, ''))

?out(A+if(length(E)>0, ' - '+E)+TAIL)</pre></code>

There are two ways to specify string literals:<br />

'text' - use '' to insert a ' (e.g. 'her''s')<br />

false<br />

AOM still supports custom tags to simplify rules. Custom tags are simply new tags that contains a text or collection of subtags.

Note that custom tags are essentially translated to ?set commands. Aka, "[?lg]" -> "?G" iq equivalent to adding "?set('G', '['+lg+']')" in front of a pattern.

{|

|?a||text||Anime name

Note that all tags are greedy, that means that ?ep2 will always be read as ep2, never as ?e or ?ep. If you need a tag to not be greedy you can use ?out(ep).

{|

|?if(test, trueval, falseval)||any||If statement, returns trueval if test is true, otherwise returns falseval.<br /> Example: ?if(a=b, 'equal', 'not equal')

|}

{|

|A+B || returns A plus B

|}

{|

|A=B||true if A equals B

File managers are used to automatically manage file renaming / removing and adding / updating files in your MyList.

Each file manager can have multiple source folders. File managers can be set to search these folders recursively or only the folder itself for files.

While it's possible adding a source path to multiple file managers is strongly discouraged.

Each file manager can have 1 renaming pattern. To use multiple patterns you need to specify multiple patterns. The rename pattern can contain a part of a path or a full path to indicate where the file should be stored. The path part of a rename might be ignored under certain circumstances however, see below.

A file manager can have one or more target paths for moving files. If no target path is specified the folder the file was found in will be used instead. If there are multiple target paths the file manager will try to figure out where the file has the most related files. This is determined by a) the anime the file belongs to and b) the anime group the file belongs to. If there's not enough space available on the target drive it'll check the next preferred target if there's enough space and so on. If no space is available in any target path the file will be renamed in it's current location, but with any path part of the file removed, aka the filename part of the rename pattern will be used but the file will remain in the folder it was found in.

This will make the file manager ignore files which are not in AniDB, they'll be visible on the known files page, but they will never be moved or renamed.

This will make the file manager remove files it can't find any more from the known files page. This rule ignores files stored on removable media.

This will prevent the file manager from removing files it can't find when the whole volume is gone, this rule would for example prevent your known files from being cleared if your network cable is unplugged or a HDD is disconnected.

This will make the file manager automatically add found files to your MyList.

This will make the file manager automatically update the storage field of MyList entries based on the volume it's stored on. This field currently only works for files on a removable storage such as a DVD. The label used will be the label of the removable media, eg. DVD #013.

This will make the file manager update your MyList to OnHDD if the file was found on a HDD or Network drive, or OnRemovable if the file is on a CD/DVD.

This will make the file manager update your MyList to indicate the file has been deleted if removed by the above rule.
