I have this value in my "Album": ---\>  
"My album name 2017"  
"Other album name 2018"  
"My other name 2019"

My goal is to go from this value to:

%albumartist% ---\> My album name  
%year% 2017

%albumartist% ---\> Other album name  
%year% 2018

%albumartist% ---\> My other name  
%year% 2019

I've tried multiple combinations and can't find the solution.  
How can I solve it?

Thanks.

It's doable via two actions

> 1. **Format value**  
> Field: `ALBUMARTIST`  
> Formatstring: `$regexp(%album%,'(.+) \d+$',$1)`

> 1. **Format value**  
> Field: `YEAR`  
> Formatstring: `$regexp(%album%,'.+ (\d+)$',$1)`
