**Help requested please**

Tags shown: File name and Title (example)

(there are no spaces between 1.Lights)

Editors - 1.lights 1.lights

This should be like this:

**Editors - Lights Lights**

The 1 stands for number 1 of course, but also applies to all the other songs on the album

Thank you very much in advance! Elie

Try Convert\>Tag-Tag or an action of the type "Format value" for TITLE:  
Format string: `$regexp(%title%,\d\.,)`

Maybe the slightly enhanced format string  
`$regexp(%title%,\d+\.,)`  
would be a better fit, especially if the OP has numbers with two or more digits like in the example:  
Editors - 10.lights 100.lights

The `\d+\.` would replace any number of digits followed by a dot, with "nothing" = remove them.
