i have songs title with numeric characters before title

eg:

1. teri meri kahani
2. jag soona laage

is there any action which can rename tag to

teri meri kahani  
jag soona laage

also can this be done to artist, or album fields.

thanks

Create a separate action for each field that you want to modify (e.g. TITLE).

Create an action of the type "Replace with regular expression"  
Enter as search string:  
\d+. (.\*)  
Enter as Replace string:  
$1
