'split' in Tag Mapper using spaces

blake98 · 07-06-2016, 09:32 AM

Hi there,

Does anyone know if it's possible to split tags using spaces? I can create the rule to split 'sad AU' based on the character <space> but when I try to test the rule, I get a valueerror: empty separator so I can't split the tag into 'sad', 'AU'. I tried using '* *', '' '','<space>' but none of these worked.

Thanks!

Spaces wont work (leading and trailing spaces are ignored). Use a regex rule, something like

replace tag if it matches (\S+)\s+(\S+) with \g<1>,\g<2>
