# Copy Unhandled

This function is used to copy the first unhandled item of a particular type to a specified field and then optionally removes it. The function only makes sense if you know that the unhandled item contains human readable data. If the binary data cannot be converted to readable data it will be treated as an empty string.

Note that for ID3 based files, the Description field displays spaces as centered dots to make them more identifiable. Centered dots and spaces are considered to be the same by this function.

If a matching unhandled item cannot be found, or the data cannot be decoded, the field will be set to empty.

Note that this function works best on ID3 files for T??? or W??? frames where the unhandled data is clearly delimited. It also works for WAV LIST-INFO:???? items for the same reason. In all other cases this function might return nothing or garbage, even though numerous encoding cases are attempted.
