Hello ☹

I have around 70 mp3 files, with a really long title for each file.  
First I have the Song name and then different texts, with different brackets.

Example  
SongA(liveatafsdaa)  
SongB[liveatassfsafsdfsdafsdaa]  
SongC{liveataaasdffffa}

Does someone know, how i could remove the last part?  
SongA  
SongB  
...  
I dont wanna edit that on my own the whole night...  
Sorry if my english has some errors 😃

Create an action of the type "Replace with regular expression" for TITLE.  
Enter as search string:  
.live.\*  
This assumes that the word "live" plus a leading character are the separators.  
It reacts to the first "live" in the string.

Leave Replace string empty.

Be care full to look on which files you use it.

A title like i.e. "Susannah's still alive" will change to Susannah's still ".
