Hi
I can use the following RegExp to Filter for Titles with open and closed brackets : `"$if($eql($regexp(%title%,\(.*\),),%title%),yes,no)" IS no`
but when I try to find Titles with two apostrophes it doesn't work:
`"$if($eql($regexp(%title%,'.*',),%title%),yes,no)" IS no`
I thought the problem might have something to do with filtering for the same character but this expression finds Titles with two "z"
`"$if($eql($regexp(%title%,z.*z,),%title%),yes,no)"` IS no
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Leo

See eg.g. here:

> Yes, as your topic title says " How to filter for double quote (“)" The ascii code for an apostrophe is 39. So a simple modification of the filter would do the trick: "$ifgreater($strstr(%title%,$char(39)$char(39)),0,yes,no)" IS yes

Maybe the problem is the apostrophe as a "[Character with Special Functionality](https://docs.mp3tag.de/format/#characters-with-special-functionality)".
Do you ask for

> Titles with two apostrophes
as in
`My Title has one' and another' apostrophe`
or in
`My Title has a double "quote" similar as two apostrophes`

Would this work:
`"$if($eql($regexp(%title%,$char(39).*$char(39),),%title%),yes,no)" IS no`

Thanks for your help. I used an extra quotation mark as suggested on the page you linked to and it works. Thanks again
e.g.` "$if($eql($regexp(%title%,''.*'',),%title%),yes,no)" IS no`
