Xup, Partners
I have a problem trying to do a script but I can't figure out!!
the issue is the following
ORIGINAL TITLE IS: P.I.M.P
then I apply general script : $caps(%title%) in TITLE to Upper case each word like "I get money" to "I Get Money" but in the case of P.I.M.P result in P.i.m.p then I trying to figure out of how i can do a script to capitalize or upper first each word followed by (.) symbol if it exist then that script can do the "P.i.m.p" to "P.I.M.P"
how I can do that ??
Thanx in advance

Try $caps2(%artist%)
Edit: sorry it should be of course $caps2(%title%) and not %artist% I assumed P.I.M.P. was artist

Hello,
Please hold me in my hand and tell me how to do this.
I have filenames like: "B.a.d." and it should be "B.A.D." etc.
Thank you!

What data have you got in your tags?
In general: if you apply an action of the type "Case conversion" then you can define after which character a word starts.
Still, depending on the file system, you do not see any changes in case if the filename isn't also changed in at least one character position to a different or additional character (or one less).

If you simply want to change case of tags and filenames, please see the action "Case Conversion" as described here:
> [@Actions and batch-operations](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/actions-and-batch-operations/967/3):
>
> How to change upper/lower case of tag fields or filenames? Create a [new action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/actions/967/2) in an existing action group and choose Case conversion as action type. Field determines which parts of the tags/filename should be changed. Case conversion determines how the upper/lower case of the field will be changed. If you want for example mark chars after a left parenthesis or a hyphen as the begin of a word, enter the respective char under Words begin from/after any of.
If you really want to use a scripting function like `$caps2`, you'd need to use either an action "Format value" or use it while renaming the file from the tag with the converter "Tag - Filename".
However, you'd need to use `$caps2(%title%,'.')` so that the dot is treated as separator character.
