📌 [HELP] How to show only the first artist in $mi(artist)$?

[Alex1]

Hey everyone! I’m working on a music widget in KWGT and I ran into a small issue with artist names.

I’m using the formula $mi(artist)$ to display the current song’s artist, but when there are multiple artists, it shows something like:

The Weeknd;Ariana Grande

What I want is to only show the first artist, so it would be:
→ “The Weeknd”, and ignore the rest.

Is there any way to cut everything after the ; or maybe a workaround to achieve this?

Any help or working formula would be really appreciated

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

The easiest way is… edit your track artists to just the first artist.

I hope this would help.

You could use regex:
$tc(reg, mi(artist), ";.*", "")$

; matches a semicolon and .* matches any number of any characters after the semicolon.

Hi @Alex1 ,

Here is the not so easy way,

Original:
$mi(artist)$

Trimmed:
$tc(reg,
  mi(artist),
  "^(.+?)([,;&].*)$", "$1"
)$

I hope this would help.
