Several routes lead to Rome. You could either simply import the whole string into title and then process the TITLE field or you use an action of the type "Guess value" instead of the convert function Guess value Source: `$regexp('Calvin Harris ft Sam Smith - Promises (CK intro) (Clean) 2A 123',\d. \d+$,)` Pattern: %artist% - %title% resp. Source: `$regexp(%_filename%,\d. \d+$,)` Pattern: %artist% - %title% ---

This is working except when there is the number 1 in front of the key, for example if the filename is this: **Bryce Vine - Drew Barrymore (Dennis Blaze Club Rework) (Intro) (Dirty) 10A 80** the result in the title is: **Drew Barrymore (Dennis Blaze Club Rework) (Intro) (Dirty) 1** also it would be nice to know how could i do the same thing if i was proccessing the title only. Thanks for the help! ---

Instead of an action of the type "Guess value" use an action of the type "Format value" for TITLE Format string: `$regexp(%title%,\d+. \d+$,)` ---

Hi @ohrenkino What should i do if i want to move the Bryce Vine - Drew Barrymore (Dennis Blaze Club Rework) (Intro) (Dirty) **10A 80** to the %grouping% ---

Is this the filename again? What about the function Convert\>Filename-Tag with `%dummy%) %dummy%) %dummy%) %grouping%` ---

Yes we are talking about the filename. The action above works only if the flename contains 3 parentheses but there are filenames without a parenthesis, one, two or more. For example: Fatman Scoop, Lil Jon, Jay-Z, DJ Unk, Yung Joc, Ying Yang Twins - Deville Loves The 2000's (Party Break Vol. 1) (Acapella Intro) (Beat Out) (Dirty) **4B 89** ---

Then perhaps this helps in "Guess value": Source: `$regexp(%_filename%,'.* (\d+[A-Z].*)',$1)` Target: %grouping% ---
