It would easiest to rename the files with Convert\>Tag-Filename Format string: %artist% - %title% as I assume that the field TITLE does not have the number. ---

Import the data from the filename to the tags: Convert\>Filename-Tag Format string: %artist% - %title% Then use Convert\>Tag-Tag for TITLE with Format string: `$regexp(%title%,(.*)\d+,$1)` Then use Convert\>Tag-Filename Format string: %artist% - %title% It is my opinion that if you really insist on tweaking only the filename without tagging the files, look out for a good file renaming utility as MP3tag is way over the top for that task. ---

> [@ohrenkino](#): > > Format string: `$regexp(%title%,(.*)\d+,$1)` Thank you for this, it is of great help. i however have a query in regards to a title tag: File name: Michael Jackson-Beat It Bpm 120.mp3 Artist Tag: Michael Jackson Title Tag: Beat It Bpm 120 I use the following format string: `$regexp(%title%,(.*)\d+,$1)` This removes one # at a time, so i have run it thee times to remove all the three #s (e.g 120) leaving the space between the Bpm 120. What would be an format string to use to remove the space in-front of the number and the three digits/ number. usually this is the case with BPMs. ---

Endangered species are: "Love Potion No. 9" (Clovers) "'74 '75" (Connells) "9 to 5" (Dolly Parton) "1999" (Prince) "Area Code 51" (Geezer Butler) "Engine 54" (Ethopians) "R-9" (Cybotron) "Say I'm Your No. 1" (Princess) ---

Thank you ohrenkino i like the format string $regexp(%title%, \d+,) it deletes the number also the space before the number as well. eg " 123" ---

as I said: be careful - the regular expression deletes any number with a preceeding space. ---
