Hi, a question.
I use filters with operators like HAS/IS/GREATER/LESS/EQUAL/MATCHES. However, if I want to use a “start with” or “end with” filter, how should I set the filter? An example: Filter All records where the title field ends with "Dj Reto" .
Your effort is much appreciated.

Try "End with"
%title% MATCHES "Dj Reto$"
Start with:
%title% MATCHES "^Dj Reto"

You can find the explanation for "[line anchors](https://docs.mp3tag.de/regex/#line-anchors)" in a regular expression in the documentation:
**Line anchors**
`^` matches the start of a line
`$` matches the end of a line
