Hello,
```
I have been trying to edit Titles to remove track number like:
01 - This a Song
A command like: Replace "TITLE":"^\s*\d - "->"" is not working. I also tried "TITLE":"^\s*\d+\s*-\s*" ->"" . What am I doing wrong? I am using version 2.45d. Thank you.
```

You must select "Replace with regular expression" for this.
