All my files are like "S01E01 - Hello World" "S01E02 - Back Again for Another Round" How can i strip it just so i can have "S01E01" "S01E02" Reason why, i am putting the stripped titles in a Episode ID Tag. Thank you in advanced. ---

Are those file names or are those strings in one of the tag fields? ---

Strings are in a tag not the filename. ---

You can use an action of the type "Import tags (guess values)" - if "S01E02 - Back Again for Another Round" is part of the title, create the action for TITLE enter as guessing pattern: %episodeid% - %title% This creates a user-defined tag EPISODEID with the contents SE01E02 and leaves "Back Again for Another Round" in TITLE. ---

Use a 'Guess Values' action. Assuming the above is in the TITLE field, something like: _Action type:_ **Guess values** _Source format:_ **%TITLE%** _Guessing pattern:_ **%TVEPISODEID% - %TITLE%** ---

According to Mp3tag's [tag field mappings](https://docs.mp3tag.de/mapping) help page, there's a recognized Mp4 field for TV episode ID. Assuming that this is what the OP wants, it requires using the internal name 'TVEPISODEID'. ---

I usually have the filename s01e01 - title from there I was going to get the season id. I will try out your suggestions, thanks. ---
