Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me out here, I only downloaded the program recently and have been poking around the FAQs and what not but haven't seen anything that directly relates to what I'm trying to do and I don't know regular expressions.
What I'm trying to do is move a string on the "title" tag into the "genre" tag. Not the full string, example title tag would be:
**[genre] Song title**
So I want to grab everything between the brackets, or first occurence of two brackets in the title, then move that into the genre field.
If anyone could give some help on creating a regular expression that can do this or an already defined action that would be great, thank you!
_Edit:_ Oh dear I posted in this wrong section, dangit. ☹ Sorry about that.
_Edit2:_ It has been moved for me, thank you shadowy thread-moving mod!

There are many ways. One is this:
_Action type:_ **Guess values**
_Source format:_ **%title%**
_Guessing pattern:_ **[%genre%] %dummy%**
