My second question of the day!!! The community already helped out earlier.... I would like to use the numbers at the start of a each TITLE to generate the Track number. The autonumbering wizard it hit and miss... So for example....this is the title currently of a track 07 Its Never Too Late I've had a look - I can see ideas about suppression of parts, removal of numbers....but how can keep these numbers and use them... Thanks again Peter ---

If you only want to get the number into TRACK and leave TITLE as it is, you could try an action of the type "Format value" or the function Convert\>tag-Tag, both for TRACK Format string: `$regexp(%title%,^(\d+).*,$1)` If you want to move the number to TRACK and also see the TITLE without it, try and action of the type "Guess value" (import tag fields) Source: %title% Pattern: %track% %title% PS: I think the correct title would be "It's never too late" ---

first use autonumbering to number all tracks, then use title--\>filename $num(%track%,2) - %title% ---
