I have 76 files I need a batch solution for. The filenames are formatted like this:

**A01a Artistry In Trumpets**  
**A01b Artistry In Trumpets**  
**A01c Artistry In Trumpets**

**A02a Juanita**  
**A02b Jaunita**

ect.

What I'd like to do is copy those names to the title field, with the first 5 characters cut, but I want to put the 4th character (the lowercase letter) at the end of the title in parentheses. So they look like this:

**Artistry In Trumpets (a)**  
**Artistry In Trumpets (b)**  
**Artistry In Trumpets (c)**

**Juanita (a)**  
**Juanita (b)**

There has to be a way to do this.

Try an action of the type "Format value" for TITLE  
Format string: `$regexp(%_filename%,...(.) (.*),$2 \($1\))`
