Remove parts of a tag field

Newbie here I a question about removing characters to the right of standard expression

George Gently S7 D1 E1_Title1

I want to remove everything to the right of "_" and including it...

I am sure this is a simple procedure but don't know what to pick this program can be so powerful if you can understand all the commands...!

Thanks,.

You don't tell us in which tagfield this content is.
If it is not the filename you can use an action of

Type: Guess Values
Source Format: %the tagfield where this is content%
Guessing Pattern: %the tagfield where this is content%_%dummy%

Yes, shows you how new I am it is in the _FILENAME field. I am actually using this for rewriting MP4 files. I know it probably isn't meant for it but it does work I have done simple things like copy _FILENAME to Title name. This one has me stumped so for such a long time since responding. I didn't remember I had used this site to post this.

So you want to just change the filename only?
Take the Coverter Filename -> Filename.
Old filename pattern: %1_%2
New filename pattern: %1

Sorry for the slow response I couldn't find my login credentials..
Anyway. What I want to do is this as an example the file name is
The Girl in the Spider_Title1.MP4
I want to remove all the characters to the right and including the "_" but keep the ".MP4" and not leave a space before the period either.
Does this make sense?
so the end result I would like is
The Girl in the Spider.MP4
I hope this helps for some one to help me. I know it is probably a simple few steps but I still haven't grasped how the expression work in MP3Tag.
Thanks,
John
