Create an Action to remove date

Support
1

I want to create an Action that will copy the FILE NAME to TITLE.

The FILE NAME format is Artist - Title-dd-mm-yyyy.mp3

I want the TITLE format to be Artist - Title

I can get the FULL File name into the Title but cannot figure out how to get it to drop the -dd-mm-yyyy.mp3

Any help is much appreciated.

Try an action of the type "Format value" or use Convert>Tag-Tag for TITLE
Format string: $regexp(%_filename%,(.*?)-\d+.*,$1)

It works for me with
Convert -> Tag - Tag
Field: TITLE
Format string:
$regexp(%_FILENAME%,(.*) - (.*?)-(.*),$1 - $2)

This version drops everything after the second minus, ignoring if it is a date or something else.

Thanks ohrenkino and LyricsLover, both solutions produced the results I needed.
