so i would advice you to use a different tag field for the beatport track ID, as this is something different as the catalog #.  
But there seems to be no catalog # in the track-api-page. Only the beatport release id from where the track is taken from. You would have to do an additional run of a script for releases to to get the catalog #.

Yes. The tracknames are like trackid\_title\_name\_mix\_name.mp3, right? This will give you the frist numbers of the filename:

[SearchBy]=$regexp(%\_filename%,^(\d+).+,$1)

The proper way to write multivalue tags in Mp3tag is to use \\ as a seperator. But this has some points you have to do right:  
You have to write **say "\\"** to get **\\**.  
And you have to save the files a second time after using the script to get the tag seperated.  
see here: [/t/9432/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/9432/1)  
But if "; " works for you as a workaround, you can stick to this.

Here was a project to get this done. Don't know if it works. Tested it a while ago and didn't get it going. Produced a system crash after serveral trys. Now it says "project stopped" in the first post.

Your script generally works nice. Good work!

If you replace

outputto "tracks"

with

outputto "title"

you don't get that track number which will be always 1 for a script for one file.

p.s.:  
and here is a working code to get the album name:

outputto "album"

findline "\<release id="  
joinuntil ""  
findinline ""  
sayuntil ""
