Ok, this simplifies it a bit as I assume this means you are able to
experiment with the XML/SQL yourself.
The trick to get multiple rows is to use the "jivepattern" element.
The jivepattern element is a regular expression with matching groups
within (), it will be matched towards the returned string from the SQL
and each matching group will be shown on a separate row.
So for example:
<jivepattern>^(.*)\s\((.*)\)$</jivepattern>
Means that everything before ( will be shown on the first row and
everything within the ( and ) will be shown on the second row.
So if the SQL returns:
Some album (artist1, artist2)
The result in iPeng will be:
Some album
artist1,artist2
My guess is that you probably want to have a matching pattern that
looks something like:
<jivepattern>^(.*)\s\((.*)\)\s\((.*)\)$</jivepattern>
Which means that if you make the SQL result look like:
Some album (artist1, artist2) (1985)
It will in iPeng be show as:
Some album
artist1, artist2
1985
