Dont know if i should make a new topic or not but:

Instead of replacing all vowels of a kind in case the string is to long, i would like to replace every vowel after position 5 then 4 ... to reduce the string length.

After spending the day with regex tutorials: i just dont get it. or the tutorials suck. or both.

So from what i gathered this:

 ![regexprob](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/3X/f/3/f3ef95eb51782d8c00ed0cf163fe7d4d5ed36bcd.png)

should put the first 4 letters as string1 and then all following nonvowel letters as string2 and enter them into the field.  
but it does nothing.  
What am i doing wrong?
