at last i found the way out. thanks for the developers of this soft. this is such a wonderful soft. names of any number of files are converted as per our wish. here is the example for the novice like me.  
original album name\>album name-where u get it [from.com](http://from.com)  
you want the album name as\>album name  
then actions\>guess values  
source format\>%album%  
guessing pattern\>%album%-%comments%  
(for this the comments filed must be empty)  
then delete the comments field by selecting blank. done.

thanks again . have a nice day.

You can also use %album%-%dummy% to omit the last part.
