Body
I have a function defined as the following (in C): <pre><code>gchar **Scan_Return_File_Tag_Field_From_Mask_Code (File_Tag *FileTag, gchar code) { switch (code) { case 't': /* Title */ return &FileTag->title; case 'a': /* Artist */ return &FileTag->artist; case 'b': /* Album */ return &FileTag->album; case 'd': /* Disc Number */ return &FileTag->disc_number; case 'y': /* Year */ return &FileTag->year; case 'n': /* Track */ return &FileTag->track; case 'l': /* Track Total */ return &FileTag->track_total; case 'g': /* Genre */ return &FileTag->genre; case 'c': /* Comment */ return &FileTag->comment; case 'p': /* Composer */ return &FileTag->composer; case 'o': /* Orig. Artist */ return &FileTag->orig_artist; case 'r': /* Copyright */ return &FileTag->copyright; case 'u': /* URL */ return &FileTag->url; case 'e': /* Encoded by */ return &FileTag->encoded_by; case 'i': /* Ignored */ return NULL; default: Log_Print(LOG_ERROR,"Scanner: Invalid code '%%%c' found!",code); return NULL; } } </code></pre> I am trying to add a new condition to the switch statement, such as <pre><code>case 'f': </code></pre> In which it would return the first character of &FileTag->artist. I have scoured all of the internet looking for a solution, but have come up empty handed. Anyone have any ideas? Update: If it helps, this function is part of the application EasyTag. From what I have seen looking through the code, this is where the new file name for easytag's file sorting feature is determined. I am trying to add a new variable to allow the application to sort music into directories like so: <code><First letter of artist name>/<Artist>/<Album>/<Tracks></code> There is always the chance that I may be looking at the wrong function, but to the best of my knowledge I am. Another Update: I got this function working as I wanted (pointers are funny little things), but it does not, as pointed out below, do what I had expected it to. Thanks for all the help and patience!
