I want to change my Titles to be the same as my Filenames, except without the track numbers that are in the Filenames.

Example-  
Filename: 01. Hello and Nice Day  
becomes...  
Title: Hello and Nice Day

Can someone please explain how to do this?

%dummy%. %title%

Edit the format string to "%dummy% %title%".  
That means, everything before the space character will be ignored and everything after will be set as title.

I used do this in 2 steps, first with Filename - Tag and the Convert tag - tag with $regexp(%title%,\d\* ,,) so that the first string consisting of digits followed by a space is converted to nulls.  
But your 1-step method is better.
