I am currently tagging my Karaoke Collection and I was wondering if anybody can help me with some scripting.  
I want to use the "SC1021" from the directory "Sound Choice Karaoke SC1021" as disc number.  
Is this possible?

Yes.  
Define an action.

Action-Type: Format value  
Field: DISCNUMBER  
Format String: $right(%\_directory%,6)

BTW, DISCNUMBER is an official tag (TPOS) and it is defined as numeric.

You could use the Convert\>Filename-Tag function.  
If the separator is "Karaoke" try:  
%dummy% Karaoke %discnumber%\%dummy%

Or are there other patterns?

Thank you to "Poster" for the right scripting.  
I am a very happy man now.
