I use this script for exporting a list of files

`$TITLE(C:\Users\YOUR-USER-NAME\Documents\! Mp3tag export list %_DATETIME%.txt,utf-16)$loop(%_filename%,1)>> R + E ~ >| - %TITLE% $loopend()`

Would it be possible to automatically replace something [if it it present] to something else?  
` `  
` `  
For example among all of the files loaded to Mp3tag and selected for the list creation there would some files that would have [all of those some files] a title like

`A (B) {C)`

but I would prefer to see in the TXT file

`X [Y] #Z`

every time [thus such exchange would happen often many times]

Right now I have to make such replacements manually within the TXT file; which I do often and repeatedly for the same `TITLE`s, which is both time consuming and plain tiresome

The export supports the scripting functions (take a look at the help file), hence you can use commands like ` $replace(string,from,to)` to change the output.  
Example:  
`$replace(%title%,'A (B) {C)','X [Y] #Z')`
