Try an action of the type "Guess value" Source: %title% Target pattern: %track% (%title%) (I hope this is what you meant - you use such strange names for the fields). ---

> [@renu](#): > > TrackName [1128-1137] (Album Name) trackname = TITLE? [1128-1137] = a string with numbers (Album name) = ALBUM? And you only want to move the string with numbers? So that you end up with TITLE = %title% (%album%) COMMENT = a string with numbers? ---

I'd like to chime in 🙂 @renu, if you really only want to move the range of numbers to another field, e.g., COMMENT and leave the TITLE field as it is, you can use an action "Guess value" with Source: `%title%` and Target pattern: `%dummy% [%comment%] %dummy%` If you want to go further and also move track name and album name to their corresponding fields, use Source: `%title%` and Target pattern: `%title% [%comment%] (%album%)` ---

Thank you @Florian that makes good sense to go a step up . Also does the white space or blanks between the fields matter thank you for your help ---

> [@renu](#): > > Also does the white space or blanks between the fields matter I'm imagining a trailing question mark on your sentence 😁 So yes, absolutely. Essentially you're trying to match the structure of the original string with the target pattern. The blanks and parentheses are pointers for Mp3tag to denote the boundaries of the different parts of the text. ---
