Hi everybody,
I'd like to write a program, allowing to sort BIAB files and dispatch (or copy) them to different folders, based on certain characteristics ; for instance those wich have a ROK style in a Rock folder, those which have a given soloist to a given folder, and so on.
But, for that, I do need to know where I can find these infos in a BIAB file and how they are coded.
Could anybody help in these matters ?
T.I.A.

I think user Pipeline should be your first contact. Also, Jerome, the developer of JJazzLab recently added the ability to read BIAB files, so he knows at least some of what’s in a file.
I’m a programmer and I’m not sure this question belongs in the Beginner Forum. It might get more traction in the regular BIAB product forum.
Would you read the first style encountered in the song and ignore any subsequent style changes? Or would a song be indexed multiple ways for multiple styles? For multiple soloists?

Would you read the first style encountered in the song and ignore any subsequent style changes? Or would a song be indexed multiple ways for multiple styles? For multiple soloists? I didn't even know you could have multiple styles and soloists in BIAB  I just wanted to expand BbwExplore.exe, by adding the possibility to send its output to a file or the file listed to a folder, but I will explore the possibility to add a second (third, fourth ?) filter which could offer a way to have a general folder say for Jazz, then children folders with say x as soloist... and so on. Thanks for the idea ! And thanks for the suggestions concerning Pipeline (he drew before I read your post !) and Jerome. I'll eventually post in the regular forum, to get opinions about the layout of the program and number of "filters", and maybe the "output" (for me its to have folders, some people may be interested in having a list for say feeding a "jukebox" program).

Thanks, but wouldn't this limit me to the style I currently have ? I mean I would have something as automatic as possible, as I plan to make my program freely available to BIAB users. Besides is there something similar for say soloists, as Matt Finley ideas to have multiples filters lit a candle in my mind ?
