Hello everybody,
I retagged thousand of files by year, artist, title. However, the format of the tag was e.g. 1867[cd][mv] Wiener Philharmonic Orchestra - An Der Schönen Blauen Donau How to delete the characters behind the year "[cd][mv]" i have thousand of files with this. Tried replace with regular expressions but won't work. I want to keep the year in the tag but loose the [cd][mv] part. Please help, thanks a million. Gerard |

ZITAT(gebak @ Feb 23 2011, 17:47)  Hello everybody, I retagged thousand of files by year, artist, title. However, the format of the tag was e.g. 1867[cd][mv] Wiener Philharmonic Orchestra - An Der Schönen Blauen Donau How to delete the characters behind the year "[cd][mv]" i have thousand of files with this. Tried replace with regular expressions but won't work. I want to keep the year in the tag but loose the [cd][mv] part. Please help, thanks a million. Gerard There are more ways to do that. I think the simplest one is: Action: Format Value Field: YEAR Formatstring: $left(%year%,4) This gives you simply the leftmost 4 characters %year%. When "1867[cd][mv] Wiener Philharmonic Orchestra - An Der Schönen Blauen Donau" is not the YEAR tag-field you have to replace %year% with the appropiate field name. When it is the filename use $left(%_filename%,4). See here http://help.mp3tag.de/main_scripting.html for other opitions to achieve your goal. |
