BUG in 3.108- Using ZIP file conversion

Was beating my head against the wall not being able to import a few songs and realized it was the . that was in the name I didn't see (Hank Williams Jr. was one ... T.G. Sheppard the other)

Wasn't on the zip files, but on MP3+G's. Was getting the "This file does not have an associated .cdg" error and the .'s I wasn't catching was the cause. Also caused problems with a few ZIP imports.

The period ( . ) is what we use as the delimiter for the end of ALL the fields embedded in the filename. It starts the filename extension, like .mp3 or .cdg. I don't think we can prevent this problem. We spent weeks of time defining how to "parse" the filenames into fields. It is bordering on artificial intelligence to do more than we have done. I'm not expecting we can do any better for a while. Any suggestions how we can overcome this are welcome!!! Who knows, we may just be missing the real key that one of you can define for us.

The delimiters that are normally used within the filename to end one "field" an start another, we thought we had done a bang-up job on. We even allow you to change the delimiters to any string with pretty much any characters... except the period.

I'll discuss this with our programer tomorrow, if his sinuses allow him to work again. It's Pine Tree and Oak Tree pollen season and the "yellow cloud" plagues are upon us now.


MTUSUPPORT's definition and work-around for the current problem above blows my mind! He never ceases to amaze me.
