Because my Treo 650's MP3 player (pTunes) does not display the Comment field, I need to append the Title of some of my MP3's (in a set of directories) so that the new Title field contains
Comment - Title
How do I do this?
Thanks.

Thank you.
It wasn't clear to me if the action was to be a "Format Value" or "Replace" or "Replace with Regular Expression".
Using Format Value seems to have worked.

PS: What an awesome, powerful program this is!!
I have a follow-up question:
How do I reverse this action?
Say, sometime in the future, I want to get back to the original content of the Title field. How do I do that when the current content of the Title field is actually
%comment% - %title%
How do I remove the "%comment% - " part of the Title field content?
Thanks.

Create the following action:
Action #1:
Action type: Replace with regular expressions
Field: TITLE
Regular expression: ^.* -
Replace matches with:
Edit: In the regular expression, there is also a blank after the dash: "^.* - " (without quotation marks).
Thank you.

Hi,
How do I delete the string before the first (going from left to right) appearance of " - " only?
Sometimes my Title has a " - " (no "'s in the title) in it from before. Adding the Comment field to it results in multiple instances of " - " in the Title. The above expression removes everything before the last " - ", not the first " - ".
Thanks.

Does this work:
Action #1:
Action type: Replace with regular expressions
Field: TITLE
Regular expression: ^(.) - (.)
Replace matches with: $2
Instead of "^.* - " use "^.*? - "
Sebastian: the "^(.) - (.)" -> "$2" did not work.
Dano: "^.*? - " -> "" worked !!
Thanks to all for the help.
