Hi there! First of all i'm sorry if this subject as already been answered. I looked at the forum for a while and could not find a good answer to my problem.

Here is an example of one of my filename:  
Binary Finary- 1999 (Best version released)[Bouncy Old-skool Ravey] - 11A.mp3

I copied this information into the comment column, and now I would like to remove everything that is not inside the brackets. I would like to keep only : Bouncy Old-skool Ravey.

My filename is that long because I use the Tagspace program to tag my songs, which rename my filename and adds the tags i choose.

Thanks 😉 let me know if I need to give you more info!
