I seem to have a load of files (over 300) with the disk number shown as

`1\\1` or `1\\2` or `2\\2` etc. (That is 2 backslashes between the digits)

I've tried a replace action but that doesn't work. The majority of my files show 1/1 or 1/2 (1 forward slash) etc and those can be dealt with a replace action.

Can anyone put me on the right track please.

Please press Alt + T on such tracks to confirm that you see **2** DISCNUMBER tags. One with the content of the first number and another one with the second value.  
This would be a so called multi value field.

Then you have to decide what exactly you want to do with them.  
Merge the two DISCNUMBER tags into one as 1/1 or 1/2?

To merge two (or more) DISCNUMBER tags you could use the Action "Merge duplicate fields" like this:

Thank you LyricsLover. I didn't realise how that worked or how powerful it was. You certainly know your stuff. I am very grateful for your help. 😃
