Hi everyone,
I've labeled a huge number of titles adding a suffix to the very right side of the title in the form of: TITLE (xyzw 1) or TITLE (abcd 2) etc.
Is there a method/regular expression to getting rid of all the suffixs between brackets in order to leave the title only?
Thanks in advance!
Ian

If you search for "[remove part of title](https://community.mp3tag.de/search?q=remove%20part%20of%20title)" you get a lot of already existing answers for your question.
Which ones have you tried already? What exactly doesn't work for which expression?
One of the working expressions could be:
`$regexp(%TITLE%, \(.*\)$,)`
This would search for a space, an opening bracket, any character until a closing bracket - and this has to be at the end - to leave brackets and text between brackets before the end untouched, like "My (super) text and other blabla"

Thank you for the quick reaction!
I've found a suggestion by Florian about my problem:
Guess value
Source: `%title%`
Format string: `%title% (%dummy%)`
It works fine, but I should now better specify my requirements.
Some titles sound like **"Chasing pavements (Live) (xyzw 1)**" or "**Tango guapo (20sec. ouverture) (abcd 1)**" and I would like to remove only the last suffix, i.e. after the adjustment the titles should be "**Chasing pavements (Live)**" or "**Tango guapo (20sec. ouverture)**".
Thank you for your help.
