OK if I wnt to remove everything between () in the tags can I do it with quick Action. What would I use for the WILD CARD? I know I use \*.MP3 when I want to list all the mp3 in a folder. So what would I put in the Find Field that would find and replace every thing between ()
Thanks

The thread title suggests that you want to edit tags - but then you talk about the filename. Tags are embedded metadata in the files - the filename is something for the filesystem.
So which tag field do you want to modify?
Also, the search function in the forum will show a number of threads that deal with brackets, e.g.

> Sorry If this is a basic question, but I cannot manage to remove brackets with text inside them. For example, „Titanium (feat. Sia)“. I want it to be only „Titanium“. „Turn Me on (feat. Nicki Minaj)“ I want it to be „Turn Me on“.

If you show us a screenshot from a real example from your collection in the current state and then a screenshot how you would like to see it after the Action "with Wild Card", then we can help you much better.

OK the title not the tag Lets say the title is Alone Again Naturally Gilbert O`Sullivan (anything between these) .mp3
And I want to remove everything in the Title that is between () Is there a wild card I can use to take the place of all text.

You want to get from the content in the tag field TITLE as
`Alone Again Naturally Gilbert O'Sullivan (anything between these) .mp3`
to the new TITLE
`Alone Again Naturally Gilbert O'Sullivan.mp3`
or the one with trailing space
`Alone Again Naturally Gilbert O'Sullivan .mp3`
or brackets and space
`Alone Again Naturally Gilbert O'Sullivan () .mp3`
or brackets without space
`Alone Again Naturally Gilbert O'Sullivan ().mp3`
Or do you want to see the new \_FILENAME in one of the above versions?
What exactly do you want to change:
The Filename, the tag field TITLE or something else?

Try Convert\>Filename-Filename
Old filename pattern: %1 (%2)
New filename pattern: %1

The TITLE is part of the tags... the filename is something that the OS needs to identify a file.

Strictly technically speaking this will not work 😉
You would have to add a space after `(%2) ` for the given example with a trailing space
`Alone Again Naturally Gilbert O'Sullivan (anything between these) .mp3`

You are right.
So if the part in brackets is the last bit, then
Old filename pattern: %1 (%2
would be better
