I have been trying to figure this out for ages but what expression do I use to batch convert part 3 of my mp3 filename to the title (there are spaces in my filename):

Example below:

Filename: 'S2 E6 Full House' - required title "Full House"

If there is always a number as last character before the real title starts (here: "6") then, the following might do it:  
Action of the type "Format value" for TITLE  
Format string: $regexp(%\_filename%,._\d (._),$1)
