// Let MediaInfo tell the bit rate of the video, send the output to clipboard
run "cmd /c D:\MediaInfo\MediaInfo.exe --Output=Video;%BitRate% ""<cc_item>"" | clip", , 2, 0;
$output = substr("<clipboard>", 0, -1); // get rid of the line ending

echo $output; // I get the correct value (in bps, but the unit is not part of the output)
echo $output / 1024; // I get 0
echo $output + 333; // I get 333
// So for some reason, whenever doing any sort of math with $output, it is evaluated as 0, but echo $output alone gives the right result

echo floor($output) / 1024; // This fixed the problem, round() worked as well, probably ceil() too...

return round(round($output) / 1024); // OK

echo $output;

echo $output + 333;

echo $output;

echo "-" . $output . "-";

Change that to

Code: Select all

 echo "-" . $output . "-";

 echo "'$output'";
 echo "output = '$output'";

The linefeed or carriage return that we are stripping, I suppose is two characters, like ASCII DEC 13, but removing one character was enough to keep the paragraph symbol from displaying in the MediaInfo output in Custom Columns.

Code: Select all

 $string = "a<crlf>Result: 12 times<crlf>b";
 $number = RegexReplace($string, '^[\s\S]*?([-+]?\d+)[\s\S]*', '$1');
 echo $number + 10;

Or for a float/decimal use a query pattern of:

Code: Select all

^[\s\S]*?([-+]?[0-9]*\.?[0-9]+)[\s\S]*

^Pages:\s*\d+$

Based on my findings in this thread I've taken to only using RegexMatches when I have no other options - thus far that means never.

Though I imagine the runret is the biggest time sink in this case, so you might want to consider using a custom tag to store or cache the desired information to limit how frequently you need to call the external tools.
