Hello,

I would like converting TAGS in FILENAME to make them to be like in this example:

1. TITLE [ARTIST].mp3

However, I do not get to add []. It is written in the help topics that I "have to put the single quote around these reserved characters if" I "want to use them unparsed". However, I do not get to make it to work.

May someone give me an example of a proper form?

How can I make the function to work?

I thank so much for any help!

Best wisthes,

Joao

Thank you so much.  
It worked in a test.  
However, I did not work previously. Do you know if I have done something wrong?  
Best wishes,  
Joao
