Remove space between title and brackets

Support
#1

I need help. I have search the whole forum & tried various options to no avail. I need to remove the space between the title and/or the artists and the preceding brackets as per example.
If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

It's a simple replace action for TITLE
Search: (
(=blank))
Replace:(
(no preceeding blank)

I thank you for your reply ohrenkino, but unless I am doing something wrong, your suggestions is not working for me.

Replace Action

Field:Title
Original:((=blank))
Replace with:(

is the above correct as per your instructions?

With "(_=blank))" Ohrenkino wants you to tell that the underscore character means a space because you cannot really see and comprehend it if you just write a space in the forum.

So again:
Original: (
Replace with: (

Theres is 1 space before the "(" in the Original and no space before the "(" in the Replace with.

But do you really mean the tag field TITLE or do you mean the filename?
It looks strange to me to me to have the the title of a song and the album name together in the title-tag. But it also looks strange to me to see a leading bracket with no space in front.

I quite agree.
There is a DIN 5008 that explains the layout for typed texts.
Among the rules it says that a leading parenthesis is preceeded by a blank but has none to the next word and a trailing bracket has a blank behind it if another word follows.
So deleting the blank does not really make sense.

Thank you very much.

This is exactly what I wanted.
I was unsure if it could have been created with a simple replace action

Best regards
