Hey guys I'm not too bad when it comes to using this program (i'm no genius) and I'm currently stuck with trying to figure out this, so is there an expression that removes the "2m03" from the Title, bare in mind others having different forms of this such as 2m04, 3m15b, 5m30, ect. Any help is greatly appreciated!

It is not clear to me what you want. You write that you want to delete some characters from the title but mention the filename. Do you want to strip these charcaters from the filename only or from the filename **and** the title. ---
