I have a same problem, I think.

My Title is TEWS: Over the moon: 1 Feb 2013

I'd like the results to look like:

Over the moon.

I love this program but it the string seem hard to me.

Try an action of the type "Import field (guess values) for TITLE  
Enter as mask:  
%dummy%: %title%:%dummy%

Works only with titles that have two : in it.
