i am using the 2.50 version of mp3tag.  
i have a title like this.

49 parimalar kulir-inh100514448

i want to omit the last word from it. i tried tag-filename conversion.  
format string-%title%-%dummy%  
but it is not giving the result. why this is not working?

moreover i don't find the word dummy in the drop down list of field names.how can i bring the word dummy into the list?

* * *

i even tried guess values. there also i don't find the dummy on the drop down list of field names. i had to type it and it worked like this  
guessing pattern\>%title%-%dummy%  
and i got the desired result as  
49 parimalar kulir

If you want to rename a filename (and not put it together from the tag information) you would have to use the converter filename-filename.  
Input mask:  
%1-%2  
Output mask:  
%1

Also, %dummy% is sort of bin to put data you do not want. So %dummy% does not contain any useful data.  
It is not included in the dropdown list as it has no contents. You have to "know" it - or read about it in the online help.
