Hi, I'm fairly new to using regex in mp3tag.
I'm trying to bulk export the cover art to all of my albums to directory using the 'quick action' -> 'export cover to file' 'c:\Covers\%artist%-%album%' This works great unless there are special characters in the album name (i.e. : or \ etc.). What regex expression can I use to remove (or replace) any instance of a non-alphanumeric character in the album name? I need to do this without retagging the original files? I'd like to replace %album% = 'Star Wars - Episode 1: The Phantom Menace' with 'Star Wars - Episode 1 The Phantom Menace' or 'Star Wars - Episode 1- The Phantom Menace' Thanks |

$replace(%album%,:,,\,)
or $replace(%album%,:,-,\,-) ! This syntax only works since 2.37i http://help.mp3tag.de/en/main_scripting.html -------------------- |

That worked great. I must have overlooked the scripting page. I found what will eliminate all invalid characters is: $validate(%artist% - %album%,-) |
