Fix YEAR in format 2022\\2022 to 2022

[Jim]

Often the YEAR field is in the format 2022\\2022 and not just the numeric 2022.
Is there filter that I can use to find those with the \\ in them?

The following filters do not work:
year HAS "\\", %year% HAS "\\", %year% HAS \\

Thanks

see e.g. here:

Year Field Appears Twice in Tag Panel

Kind of embarrassing, since I could swear I've asked this before, and can't remember the answer or find it in the forums. I'm browsing through the tags on some old tracks, and - for some reason - the "Year" in the Tag Panel is shown twice. For example: If Year = 1978 It shows in the Tag Panel as 1978\\1978 Can someone explain? Running Mp3tag v 2.49a under Windows XP.

Use an action of the type "Remove duplicate fields" for YEAR

JJ_Johnson posted the answer in 2012.
This fix is

@JJ_Johnson

"$len($meta(year))" GREATER 4

Thanks all!

Or
"$meta(year,1)" PRESENT

Yet, the filter does not fix it.
The fix would be to apply the actions either to merge the duplicate fields or to remove the duplicates.

That did it! Thanks for the response
