Hi All,
I decided to start a new thread as this really is a new subject.
I've got two that appear to be identical, but fail to compare. After getting
the ascii encoding I see that they are indeed different, my question is how can
I replace the \u2019m with a regular single quote mark (or apostr

Strings in Python are immutable. When you call ascii(), you get back a
new string, but it's one that has actual backslashes and such i
PS
I’ve also tried:
myCompareFile1 = myTitleName
myCompareFile1.replace("\u2019", "'")
myCompareFile2 = myCompareFileName
myCompareFile2.replace("\u2019", "'")
Which also doesn’t work, the replace itself work but it still fails the compare?

Hi,
Thanks for this!
So, is there a copy function/method that returns a MutableString like in
objective-C? I’ve solved this problems before in a number of languages like
Objective-C and AppleScript.
Basically there is a set of common characters that need “normalizing” and I
have a method tha

That won't work (last quote) but apart from that:
myNewstring = myString.replace('e', 'a')

Hi,
I misunderstood how it worked, basically I’ve added this function:
def filterCommonCharacters(theString):
myNewString = theString.replace("\u2019", "'")
return myNewString
Which returns a new string replacing the common characters.
This can easily be extended to include other chara

I love regular expressions and use them where appropriate. Saves tons of

Opps! Make that

Dave,
Your goal is to compare titles and there can be endless replacements needed if
you allow the text to contain anything but ASCII.
Have you considered stripping out things instead? I mean remove lots of stuff
that is not ASCII in the first place and perhaps also remove lots of extra
punctu
Hi,
This is a tool I’m using on my own files to save me time. Basically or most of
the tracks were imported with different version iTunes over the years. There
are two problems:
1. File System characters are replaced (you can’t have ‘/‘ or ‘:’ in a file
name).
2. Smart Quotes were added at

Another possibility that might make sense in this case is to simply

There are no mutable strings in Python.
If you really want a mutable sequence of characters, you can
use array.array, but you won't be able to use it directly in
place of a string in most contexts.

Hi,
I’ve found you also need to take care of multiple disk CD releases. These have
a format of
“1-01 Track Name”
“2-02 Trackl Name"
Meaning Disk 1 Track1, Disk 2, Track 2.
Also A and B Sides (from Vinyl LPs)
“A1-Track Name”
“B2-Track Name”
Side A, Track 1, etc.
Cheers
Dave
