Looking for any help trying to match a pattern but only replace some of it.

match (# of #) and change to [#-#]

e.g. Format would always be like this  
(1 of 4) changing to [1-4]  
or  
(5 of 7) changing to [5-7]

I was going to just replace (space)of(space) with a - but the word OF could be in the album name some where's else that I don't want to change.

thank for you for any help.

Try Convert\>Tag-Tag for whathever field that would be:  
Format string: `$regexp(%fieldame%,\((\d+) of (\d+)\),'['$1-$2']')`

The preview should show whether it works
