Help with Filename > Title convertion

Support
1

First I am a grateful user, long time user. My Convert “filename to tag” uses the %title% variable. But my filenames all have track numbers before the name. Example: 01 Dark Star.

I’d like to remove the first 3 characters, ie. 2 digit track number plus the space.

Is it possible to remove characters?

Thanks for everything.

Yes, this is basically a modified version of the example in the First Steps tutorial on importing filenames to tags:

In your case, simply use %dummy% %title% as format string. If you also want to import the track number, it's %track% %title%

Is it possible we have another Deadhead here? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :high_voltage:

Thanks Florian but I am trying to remove the first 3 characters of the Filename when importing it as a tag used as the Title.

Have you tried

as that should remove the first part of the filename more flexible than an exact character count.

Thank You Florian. This is worked. I didn’t realize the %dummy% variables abilities.
I wish I had asked a few years ago. But many more tagging opportunities await.
