For this special case you can use Mp3tag's replace function:  
**$replace(%title%,?,,`, ,.,,^,,'',)**  
(supposed that the string is held by the tag field TITLE).

**$replace('do?.i cho`em de^''n','?',,'`',' ','.',,'^',,'',) ==\> 'doi cho em den'**

Hi,

I just got a chance to try out the script, but I could not get it to work, since I am so new to this.

I created a New Action ==\> Replace ==\> Name: (Accent) ==\> field: All ==\> Original: "All" ==\> Replace with: $replace(%title%,?,,`, ,.,,^,,'',,)

But it did not work.

I also want to replace this: 01 Về Đây Nghe Em ==\> Ve Day Nghe em

Thanks

K

Do learn about the difference of 'actions' and 'scripting functions', see Mp3tag help file.  
Use action 'format value' with scripting function '$replace()' in the edit box 'Field'.

Read topic [/t/7279/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/7279/1)  
and try it out.
