Create an action of the type "Replace with regular expression" for the field. Search string: ^(\d+) Replace string: $1.\_ (where the \_ is a blank - of ) If we are talking about the filename, you should use the function Convert\>Tag-Filename Also, it could be necessary to remove double-blanks afterwards. ---

> [@Luxern](#): > > I was wondering how you would do this ... What do you mean by "tracktitle", ... does it be the tagfield TITLE, ... or does it be the pseudo tagfield \_FILENAME? Why don't you create the target string fresh from the TRACK number and TITLE string? **TITLE \<== $regexp(%TITLE%,'^(\d\*)\s\*(.\*)$','$1. $2')** DD.20170311.1950.CET ---
