Batch remove of text in album field

[beynym]

How can I remove any text between square brackets in the Album field? I'd like to change [1969] Abbey Road to Abbey Road. Thanks in advance.

Just use the search function and you will find:

Remove square brackets

Hi, I have many files where the title tag is missing, and is just reported as the filename tag - e.g Filename [William Orbit]-Ravel Pavane, Ttitle [William Orbit]-Ravel Pavane Is it possible to remove all the text within the square brackets and the following dash, leaving just the title in the title field? Thanks Dave

Replace TITLE with ALBUM for your case.

Thanks for your quick reply, but the solution you mentioned doesn't work for some reason. When I type:
Action type: Replace with regular expressions
Field: ALBUM
Regular expression: ^[.*?]
Replace matches with:
[1969] Abbey Road does not change into Abbey Road

@beynym

Regular expression: ^[1]

Use ^\[\d+\]
instead

1. .*? ↩︎

@ohrenkino

Use ^\[\d+\] instead

or use \[.*?\] to remove every content in square brackets (not only numbers) and remove the square brickets itself where ever they are - not only at the beginning of the album name.

(It seems, that square brackets needs to be escaped with \[ and \] actually.)

Thank you, that did the trick!
