Hi, I've been able to filter titles that have ")" in them, but I haven't been able to figure out how to filter just the titles that end with ")". For example, show only: **"Song Title (notes)"** not **"(First Part of) Song Title"** (Edited to fix my goof in my initial posting. Sorry for the confusion!) Thanks! ---

Try: Title MATCHES "\)$" Edit: You need to preceed paranthese with a "\", I did that in my reply but even here the html hides the \ so I had to write it two times to make it visible. Edit2: And to make it work on filename you would use: %\_filename% MATCHES "\)$" ---

Hi, thanks for responding! So, that didn't work with the ")" character, but it did work when I tested it with regular letters, like "r" for titles ending in "door" or "river" Maybe I need to bracket the ) with something? EDIT: Got it! Needed to put a \ in front of the ), like this: Title MATCHES ")$" Thanks again! ---

> [@wrw1963](#): > > **"01 - Song Title (notes).mp3"** > not > **"01 - (First Part of) Song Title.mp3"** I would like to point out that the examples look a lot like a filename and not like the tag-field TITLE. So I would assume that a filter > [@zappaphone](#): > > Title MATCHES ")$" as correct as it is for the tag-field TITLE will not work if that field is not filled but we were talking about the filename instead. The best way would be to fill the tag-fields first, edit them so that they are OK and then rewrite the filename. ---

Oh snap, you’re absolutely right. I am trying to filter the Title tag, but I used MP3 file names in my examples. Sorry for the confusion, but the good news is that your script did work. I just needed to put a \ in front of the ). Thanks again! ---
