Hello

I need some help with making a custom action that remove a part of the album-name.  
Example of album-tag: "(year) - name\_of\_album"

I want to remove this: "(year) - "  
so that I'm left with just "name\_of\_album"

Can someone help me with this? My whole music collection is tagged like this.

Thx!
