#1

Hi

Is it possible to remove THE from artist names?

I have currently the following setup under Convert > Tag - Filename:

$upper(%artist%) - $caps(%title%)
THE REVOLVERS - Years In A Day

I really would to like to remove THEs from the bands' names b:)

Thank you in advance.

Cheers

Thank you.

It worked :slight_smile: ... BUT, how do I add $upper(%artist%) with that as well now?
It should be at the end: REVOLVERS - Years In A Day (Artist - Title).
Would it be possible then?

Greetings

OK, I got it!

$regexp($upper(%artist%),'(?#From "The Artist" to "Artist")^(?i)(?:the|der|die|das)\s+',) - $caps(%title%)

That will give you: BEATLES - A Day In The Life

Thank you again.
