I am trying to remove the artist name and (text) in parentheses to just show the TITLE only.  
example: title name is showing as:  
The Beach Boys - Surfer Girl (2021 Stero Remastered)  
I have a number of tracks with this Title format, but I would like to use an action to remove everything, but the actually Title - Surfer Girl

Thanks,  
Richard

Try an action of the type "Guess value"  
Source: %title%  
Target string: `%dummy% - %title% (%dummy%`

That worked. Thanks so much. I feel like a dummy.
