I apologize in advance, but I've spent 1 hour trying to figure this out. My Titles look like this:
"Ernest Tubb / I Saw The Light". How can I remove the / and what ever precedes it? Mighty fine software, by the way.

If you have a field:
- "_artist / title_"
and want it to be only:
- "_title_"
you may create an Action with the following properties:
- Field: your\_fieldname
- Regular Expression: **(._)/(._)**
- Replace matches with: **$trim($2)**

Thanks a bunch. I would have never figured that out.
