Hi There,

I would like to keep the non capitol words from the first Line the regexpr encounter.

```
POP ROCK, CORPORATE,
MID,peaceful, Reflection, landscape, 
MEDIUM,calme, Reflexion, landscape, 

```

would become  
peaceful, Reflection, landscape

Field: MOOD  
Regular Expression: [a-z].\*  
Replace matches with: $1  
[x] case sensitive

Did the opposite which is useful to fill my Genre Tag

Any Thoughts?

Hi There,

Thank you very much for the quick answer. I did the following:

```
Field: MOOD 
Regular Expression:\b[\u\s]+\b,\s
Replace matches with: $1
[x] case sensitive

```

It indeed does the job but not in all cases

For example

> [@](#):
>
> CORPORATE,  
> LOW/ UP, drama  
> LENT / RAPIDE, drama

will result in

> [@](#):
>
> LOW/ drama  
> LENT / drama

Do you have any improvments?

Thanks for cooping with me,  
Guy Forssman

There has nothing disappeared, there is only the lack of one comma behind the given item.

I understand and will adapt my tactic to put a comma behind every word  
then I search for double ,, and replace them with 1 ,  
and then apply the regular expression.

Still in the second example it stopped rather early.

I must say thank you a lot for the effort.

Is there a site for online testing this regular expression stuff or program.  
So I can learn this a bit.  
I found a lot in Google but there are different kinds of regular expression for java and other ..

Witch one do I follow best?

And again thank you

I have the impression that we are talking about different things.

I gave you regexp examples for a one-line tag-field content.

But you work with multi-line content in the tag-field MOOD?

If there exist multi-line content and other exceptions, then you should have to choose a different strategy.

- Isolate different cases, treat each case for itself with it's own fitting pattern.
- If possible, reduce the complexity, reduce the number of cases, ...  
change the appearance of a different case into the appearance of an already existing case, in order to get one pattern for all cases.
- Divide the whole problem into several single steps (actions), which can be treated by easy reg-expessions or by standard functions.

For example ...  
... clean up all different spellings of "," or ", " or " ," or "," or whatever into one format.  
... maybe convert multi-line into single-line, do the actions, convert into multi-line.

Another proposal.

Hi Thank you very much for the propositions.  
I already opened a new thread here [/t/15916/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/15916/1)  
I also put partial solutions in green

Kind Regards
