Amazing how some people bring out the heavy artillery, first! LOL!
If the question was how to remove any initial digits and perhaps whitespace in
a string, it is fairly easy to do without any functions to test if there are
digits before the title. I mean look at initial characters and move
3 tags using eyed3, this part seems to work
and I get expected values in this case myTitleName (Track name) is set to
“Deadlock Holiday” and myCompareFileName is set to “01 Deadlock Holiday” (File
Name with the Track number prepended). The is digit test works and
myCompareFileName is set to “Deadlock Holiday”, so they should match, right?
OT, but are you sure about that name? Isn't it "Dreadlock Holiday" (by 10cc)?

Hi,

What do you want to test? the parsing? the "popen" interaction?
You can separately test both tasks (I, at your place, would do this).
For the parsing test, it is not relevant that th
format should I use to pass data to the actual parsing function?
I could in both production and test convert the entire input to a string
and pass the string to the parsing method.
