Remove Track # fromTitle or Trim Space.

[Beluna]

looked in FAQ. Seems simple, but can't replace tag info.

I'm trying to remove the track# from title or Trim space from Beginnig.

the action doesn't seem to work

replace
Title
^\d*\s*-\s

Example.

8. Take Five

change to:

Take Five

Or just trim Title by 5 spaces...

Thanks

No wonder as the pattern you find in the title is not matched by the expression.
The expression expects a number and a space immediately behind it. You've got a dot there.
^\d*.\s*-\s
(and it is not "Replace" but "Replace with regular expression").

Did you have a look at the help for string functions?
https://docs.mp3tag.de/scripting/#string-functions
e.g. $cutleft()

Or just trim Title by 5 spaces...

Converter-Menu: Tag-Tag
Field: TITLE
Format String: $cutleft(%title%,5)

or an action:
Type: Format Value
Field: TITLE
Format String: $cutleft(%title%,5)

Someone in the FAQ expalined why it wouldn't work... gave a soltion:

^\d{0,7}[- ._ ]*

Works for me.
