Goodmorning. I used the "Filename - Tag" option to fill in the "Title"field, however the files are numberd, like 01 Alpha ,02 Beta, 03 Gamma etc. Regretable the numbering als appears in the "Title"field. An other option i used is to Import an txtfile with titles, as result that all the names appears in one "Title"field. Can somebody, please explain to me, (if this option is available) how to solve this problem?? TIA Andre Linoge ---

Replace with Regular Expression Field: TITLE Regular expression: ^\d{1,2}\s? Replace matches with: should be left empty That will remove one or two digits plus an optional space at the front of the title ---

Perhaps a little less sophistication may help Stick to the "Replace with regular expression" action for TITLE Enter as search string: ^\d\d Enter as replace string: (leave that empty; please note that there is a blank behind the last \d - does not show in the browser) This expression should remove all 2-digit numbers followed by a blank and that are at the beginning of the string of the field TITLE. ---

The problem is solved: In the window to select the action is the title displayd like "% title%", after removing " **%**", the action workes just fine. ---
