I am going through renaming the library - and as it has grown over the years, I am breaking up the music directory into FLAC\(Artist Letter)\Album Artist (auto)\Album.

I am using the regex function (per previous posts!  Thanks Glynor) to get the artist letter as follows:

Regex([Album Artist (auto)], /#^(??:the|an|a) +)?(.)#/,-1)if(Compare(1[R1], >=, 10), 0 - 9, [R1])

All works fine - but I saw that there was a way to name the regex expression "Artist Letter" and insert that as a field rather than the expression itself.

In other words - how do you name an expression?

You probably want to make a new Library Field.  Here's some info from the wiki about that:

Just use Add New Field and make it's value "Calculated Data".  Insert the expression in the calculated data area.  I actually have exactly this same field, using Glynor's expression.  I called mine "Artist Letters"; again, as per Glynor's suggestion.

Good luck.
