Hi, I have a bunch of mp3 that I want to remove a space and number that is in the name. So remove ".130" in this case (putting a "." to show the blank space.
Camila Cabello - Shameless (Intro Edit) (Main) 130.mp3
So I am using the "filename - Tag" and have got as far as:
"%artist% - %title% (%title%) (%title%) %dummy%"
I want the keep the parentheses so final should be:
Camila Cabello - Shameless (Intro Edit) (Main)
Also would'nt mind figuring out how to remove the space in-between the "(Intro Edit) (Main)" as a side note. No sure if it can be done directly in the "Filename - Tag" function.
"Camila Cabello - Shameless (Intro Edit)(Main)"
Thanks in advance

Try an action of the type "Guess value" with
Source: `$replace($regexp(%_filename%',(.*) \d+,$1),') (',')(')`
Target format string: %artist% - %title%
