I've followed every example in the forum and support discussions. No matter what I do I can't get a regex to work on the TITLE field of an MP3 track. I'm running on 64 bit Win 7. There are TITLE names such as 01 A Day in The Life 02 Yellow Submarine All I'm trying to do is get this: A Day in The Life Yellow Submarine (Leading numbers and spaces removed) I've got an Action created that says this: Regular Express: "TITLE": "^\s\*\d+\s\*-\s\*" -\> "" When I run the Action (whether on 1 or many files) it does not work at all. This USED to work on my older XP machine but has never working on Win 7 for me. I'm running the very latest version of Mp3Tag (2.55a) I've attached a screen shot of my actions Any ideas? ![](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5d73266d134d0175bc302053e22e56f078c484cf.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/removing-leading-numbers-from-title-field/14786)._
