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. ---

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 ---
