Artist Edit by removing first few characters

I was going through the topic Title Edit by removing first few characters

but i want to use it for the Artist.

I want to remove the first 3-4 characters, and i tried every option from all the post,

but it will not change.
Any other suggestions? dont want to edit 800 entries

Could you give a real example?
In general: if you want to treat ARTIST instead of TITLE, then set ARTIST in field which is named in this post:

First, you need to identify a pattern in the 3-4 characters that you want to remove.
We can only help you, if you show us a screenshot of your ARTISTs.
Together, we can try to define such a pattern.

I think i got it figured out. Using \h instead of \d at the end. changed the Artist entry in the tag.

I use this $regexp(%artist%,^.*?\h,) was playing with the last letter, and h was putting it down correctly. changing the Artist field in the tag from 134. myname to myname

For those interested:

\h vs. \s in Regular Expressions

  • \h matches any horizontal whitespace character, such as:
    Space ( )
    Horizontal tab (\t)

vs.

  • \s matches any whitespace character, including:
    Space ( )
    Horizontal tab (\t)
    Line feed (\n)
    Carriage return (\r)
    Vertical tab (\v)
    Form feed (\f)
