Hi  
I have filenames with different styles:

Greatest Hits Of The Millennium 70s vol.1  
Romantic Collection vol. 4  
[Greatest Hits vol II (1978-1985) -\> There may be "\* vol. II \*" ?]  
vol 5  
etc.

How can I rename all parts of the album name from (vol.1, vol. 4, vol 5) of (vol. 1, vol. 4, vol. 5, etc.) with the "Replace with regular expression"?

I would not use regular expressions as you have constants to replace  
So I would use a "normal" replace but a an action group with a chain of them  
"vol " -\> "Vol. "  
"vol" -\> "Vol"  
" V " -\> " 5 "  
" IV " -\> " 4 "  
" III " -\> " 3 "

etc.

'i\_edgars', you have posted into the wrong forum thread.  
This pinned thread is for presentation of working examples, not for asking problematic questions.  
Nevertheless I will answer. The moderator may split this into a separate thread.

from " vol.1, Vol. 4, vol 5"

to " vol. 1, vol. 4, vol. 5"

 **$regexp(%ALBUM%,'\svol\.?\s\*(\d+)',' vol. $1',1)** from " vol.1, vol. 4, vol 5, vol II, Vol. iv"

to " vol. 1, vol. 4, vol. 5, vol. II, vol. IV"

 **$regexp(%ALBUM%,'\svol\.?\s\*(\d+|iii|ii|iv|ix|i|viii|vii|vi|v|x)',' vol. \U$1',1)** from " vol. 1, vol. 4, vol. 5, vol. II, vol. IV"

to " vol. 1, vol. 4, vol. 5, vol. 2, vol. 4"

 **$replace(%ALBUM%, ' III',' 3',' II',' 2',' IV',' 4',' IX',' 9', ' I',' 1',' VIII',' 8',' VII',' 7',' VI',' 6',' V',' 5',' X',' 10')**
