Filtering on directory name

[Rouneq]

I think I have a workaround for this, so I'm asking mainly from a "Is there a better way to approach this?" perspective.

The short of it, I want to create a view specifically for items in the main working directory (e.g., ~/rtorrent/data). Other torrents could be working in other directories elsewhere or under data, but I only want to see those in that base folder. Since I'm working on vanilla rtorrent, string.contains is not available. My first thought was I could cat the working config with the name of the torrent. However, I couldn't create a working example via rpc. Here are some tests/results attempting to use cat in a representative manner.

rtxmlrpc d.multicall2 '' main d.name= 'cat=(d.hash=,d.name=)'
ERROR:pyrosimple.scripts.rtxmlrpc.RtorrentXmlRpc:While calling d.multicall2('', 'main', 'd.name=', 'cat=(d.hash=,d.name=)') via <RTorrentProxy via xml for scgi+unix:///~/private/rtorrent/.socket>: <RpcError -503: 'Command "d.hash=" does not exist.'>

rtxmlrpc d.multicall2 '' main d.name= 'cat=(d.hash,d.name)'

rtxmlrpc d.multicall2 '' main d.name= 'cat=d.hash=,d.name='
['Fun Torrent', 'd.hash=d.name=']

# I know this doesn't work, but gave it a try anyway
rtxmlrpc d.multicall2 '' main d.name= '(cat,(d.hash),(d.name))'
ERROR:pyrosimple.scripts.rtxmlrpc.RtorrentXmlRpc:While calling d.multicall2('', 'main', 'd.name=', '(cat,(d.hash),(d.name))') via <RTorrentProxy via xml for scgi+unix:///~/private/rtorrent/.socket>: <RpcError -503: 'Invalid start of command name.'>

I'd be interested in seeing such an command, but my experience/understanding just isn't sufficient. I know the rpc commands are formatted differently than those used in the config, but I wanted to proof it before adding to the config. I think the config would look something like:

# Data view
view.add = data
schedule2 = filter_data,1,5,"view.filter = data,((equal, ((cat, ((cfg.download)), ((d.name)) )) ))"

where cfg.download is set to the data directory.

What I've settled for is

# Watch Scheduling - add value for rutorrent label
schedule2 = watch_data,1,2,"load.start=(cat,(cfg.watch),\"*.torrent\"),d.delete_tied=,d.custom1.set=Data"

# Data view
view.add = data
schedule2 = filter_data,1,5,"view.filter = data,\"equal=cat=$d.custom1=,cat=Data\""

I'm using the old notation to match what I've done previously, but I plan to experiment with the new notation once I have a point where I can bounce rtorrent repeatedly (currently in the middle of a large download I do not want to disrupt).

schedule2 = filter_data,1,5,"view.filter = data,((equal, ((d.custom1)), ((cat, \"Data\")) ))"
