Seperate the year field from the title Options

[kasunt]

Hi folks,

I want to remove the year from the "title" and copy it to the "year" field. How can I achieve this ?

For e.g.

Original Title: Nostalgia ft. Masta Ace (2007)
New Title: Nostalgia ft. Masta Ace
Year: 2007

Original Title: Check Yo Self (Remix) ft. Das Efx (2001)
New Title: Check Yo Self (Remix) ft. Das Efx
Year: 2001

Original Title: Give It 2 You (Remix) (1995)
New Title: Give It 2 You (Remix)
Year: 1995

Thanks in advance

Thanks DetlevD

I tried to use Format value with,

Field: %YEAR%
Format String: $regexp(%TITLE%, '^(.+)\s\(([0-9]{4})\)$','$2')

It didnt seem to work though. Any reason why it could be ? Atleast i know there is an alternative now

Also "Guess values" doesnt work when you have,

Test String (Remix) (1995)

It splits this to,

Title: Test String
Year: Remix) (1995

Yes, you are right.

Try this ...
Action: Guess values
Source format: $regexp(%TITLE%,'^(.+)\s\((.+)\)$','$1===$2')
Guessing pattern: %TITLE%===%YEAR%

... or try this excentric innovative action group ...
