Hello, currently, I use the action button to capitalize the characters after "(-\_." and I would like to add the sequence dash + space like "- " so that for example A new day yesterday - starship trooper (wurm) becomes A new day yesterday - **S** tarship trooper (Wurm) or that Of scorpions & bells - the devil and me becomes Of scorpions & bells - **T** he devil and me but that One africa (Independence cha-cha) remains One africa (Independence cha- **c** ha) because there is no space after the "-". Is it possible or not and if so, how? Thank you Akhlan ---

[ohrenkino](https://community.mp3tag.de/u/ohrenkino) Thanks, but I have a lot of titles and I can't do an action for each of them one by one ---

Indeed. And that is why you insert the property variable name instead of the string constant. The pattern should remain the same. In your case I assume that you fiddle with the filename (which could be re-written much easier if you had the correct character cases in the fields) so it shoud look like `$regexp(%_filename%,'\((.)','(\u$1')` ---

It's perfect, I took the second expression "$regexp("A new day yesterday - starship trooper (wurm)",' - (.)',' - \u$1')" and I adapted it to my case and everything is fine 😉 ![Sans titre](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/e/e70c505e85ce2afa53e4beb252a793d5d906d5da.jpeg) ---
