Hello,
Actually the titles are like that
Strike Up the Band (Remastered 2020)
With this command
$num(%track%,2) - $regexp(%title%,(Remastered 2020),)
We have
01 - Strike Up the Band ()
but how to remove parenthesis
Thank You

Try it with
`$num(%track%,2) - $regexp(%title%,\(Remastered 2020\),)`
You have to "[escape](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_character)" the parenthesis.
Characters with special functionality are explained here: [Scripting Functions – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/scripting)
