Well I brooded some time about "button of shortened" but I still have no idea what you mean by this.
Anyway:
Use the Coverter Tag-Filenmame.
$num(%track%,2) ~ %title% ~ $if($eql(%artist%,%albumartist%),%artist%,%artist% ~ %albumartist%) ~ %year% ~ %genre%

Thank you for your answer but what is not exactly for what I looked.
I would like to have the name of file as follows
num(%track%,2) ~ %title % ~ %artist % ~ %album % ~ %year % ~ %genre %
But if artist and albumartist is different but if the album does not exist then named(appointed) the file as follows
num(%track%,2) ~ %title% ~ %artist% ~ %albumartist% ~ %year% ~ %genre%
But if artist and albumartist is different but if the album exists then named(appointed) the file as follows
num(%track%,2) ~ %title% ~ artist% ~ %albumartist% ~ %album% ~ %year% ~ %genre%

$num(%track%,2) ~ %title% ~ $if($eql(%artist%,%albumartist%),%artist%,%artist% ~ %albumartist%) $if($eql(%artist%,%albumartist%),"",$if(%album%,~ %album% ,))~ %year% ~ %genre%

When the artist, the albumartist is different without having of album he(it) names(appoints) me my file as that: num(%track%,2) ~ %title % ~ %artist %, %albumartist % ~ %year % ~ %genre%
It is very well.
When the artist, the albumartist is different aillant an album he(it) names(appoints) me my file as that: num(%track%,2) ~ %title% ~ %artist% ~ %albumartist% ~ %album% ~ %year% ~ %genre%
It is very well.
On the other hand:
When the artist, is equal by report(relationship) has the albumartist but when the album exists it names(appoints) me my file as that: num(%track%,2) ~ %title % ~ %artist% ~ %year% ~ %genre%
It is not good. He(it) should name(appoint) him(it) as that:
num(%track%,2) ~ %title% ~ %artist% ~ %album% ~ %year% ~ %genre%
The album misses(is lacking).
If you could help me to modify the code. In you thank.

This is your regexp.
$num(%track%,2) ~ %title% ~ %artist%$if($eql(%artist%,%albumartist%),,$regexp(%albumartist%,^(.+)$, ~ $1))$regexp(%album%,^(.+)$, ~ $1) ~ %year% ~ %genre%
