$performer

Usage: $performer(pattern[,separator])
Category: multi-value
Implemented: Picard 0.10

Description:

Returns the performers where the performance type matches pattern separated by separator (or a comma followed by a space “, ” if not passed). If pattern is blank, then all performers will be returned. Note that the pattern to be matched is case-sensitive.

Example:

With the performer tags as performer:guitar = “Ann”, performer:rhythm-guitar = “Bob” and performer:drums = “Cindy”, the following statements will return the values indicated:

$set(foo,guitar)
$performer(%foo%)          ==>  "Ann, Bob"

$performer(guitar)         ==>  "Ann, Bob"
$performer(Guitar)         ==>  ""
$performer(rhythm-guitar)  ==>  "Bob"
$performer()               ==>  "Ann, Bob, Cindy"
$performer(, / )           ==>  "Ann / Bob / Cindy"
