Hello, I'm trying to import from the filename to tag: 02 Canto Extranjero (Canto Straniero) (1981) with this string %track% %title% (%title%) (%year%) but the result is : (track) 02 Canto Extranjero Canto Straniero year 1981 how do I get this result: (track) 02 (title) Canto Extranjero (Canto Straniero) year 1981 Thanks in advance (and sorry for my bad english) Franco ---

> [@franco](#): > > %track% %title% (%title%) (%year%) What about %track% %title%) (%year%) You loose the closing bracket in the title but that should easily be added. ---

Yes, playing with brackets and spaces I saw that I could achieve this. But that's not what I wanted so badly... ---

You could import everything into just title (including the year) then copy all of TITLE into YEAR, leave only the 4 digits in YEAR remove the 4 digits and the brackets in TITLE - many more steps than just use the converter filename-tag and then the converter tag-tag with Format string: %title%) The problem with the original filename is that the separator in one case can be omitted while in the other case should be included in the data. ---

Try an Action Group made up of these 3 actions: Action type: Format value Field: TRACK Format string: `$regexp(%_filename%,^(\d\d)(.+)\((\d\d\d\d)\)$,$1)` Action type: Format value Field: TITLE Format string: `$trim($regexp(%_filename%,^(\d\d)(.+)\((\d\d\d\d)\)$,$2))` Action type: Format value Field: YEAR Format string: `$regexp(%_filename%,^(\d\d)(.+)\((\d\d\d\d)\)$,$3)` ---
