Capitalizing every first letter even after ( [ characters

[Joanna2k8]

Hi,

I searched the forum and tried a couple solutions but couldn't get to do it.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

You can try to escape them using '(' or '['.

Hi Florian,

Thanks for replying. Can you please show me how to do that. I am not sure how to escape them.

I capitalize using Case Conversion > MixedCase

Thanks again!

Just edit the Case conversion action to add ( and [ symbols in the "words begin from/after any of:" box. That'll do it.

To edit an action - click the Action button on the toolbar. double-click Case Conversion. Double click the text within the resultant box that pops up. Make your changes, click ok until you're done!

I dosen't see how create the srcipt.
I want to mod this:
"Billie jean (instrumental version)" to "Billie jean (Instrumental version)"
Mixed Case or Sentence is not really the good way if we have after : " - Special Edit" or something like this...

Sorry for my poor english !

[PiC]

I find a way, mod and here is the tip :

T=5
F=TITLE
1=$replace($caps2($replace(%TITLE%,'(','(','[','['),'-/(['),'(','(','[','[')

I really don't know how it works, it's too embeded for me but I think this do the job...

In the FAQs you find more information about actions:

Actions and batch-operations

Mp3tag provides a variety of actions, which can be applied to filenames and tags. The actions are grouped together into named sets (action groups), which can be applied independently via Alt + 6. If you do not want to create a reusable action group for applying one single action, the Actions (Quick) toolbar button or keyboard shortcut Shift + Alt + 6 can be used. How to create a new action? How to ... change upper/lower case of tag fields or filenames? replace the string “xyz” in tag-fields …

Is there a way to apply “Mixed case” solely to track titles? What i have now currently applies to comments; composer, genre, etc. “_ALL”: MIxed Case, under “actions”. I have tried ignoring “actions” and am trying the following…

What i am doing is choosing Quick Action > case conversion > mixed case, not sure what i should place in the “Words begin from/after any of:”box. This also changes the first letter after a [ or ( or /, etc, which i don’t want to happen. To clarify i want just the first letter of each word (only track titles) to be capitalized, nothing else and nothing else changed.

Any help with this is appreciated, as know next to nothing about this.

thanks
