Darn you Bryan C!!! :)
I just spend 5 minutes figuring that out. Nice job.
HaWi: You will probably enjoy using Expression Columns for this kind of work. Expression Columns let you SEE the results of your expression before applying it to a field. To make an Expression Column:
Go to a view that has a list of your songs. Right click on the top area that shows the names of the existing columns (like Name, Album, etc). Select "Add Expression Column". Give it a title. Now type in the expression you want to test out. You will see a new column with the results of the expression.
Now you can play with expressions and see what they are going to do before you apply them. You can do many variations and refine your expressions, develop more complex ones, and learn.
Once you have a perfect expression in a column, just copy it out of the expression area and paste it into the Tag window where you want to change values.
I hope this helps.
Brian.

Amazing, you have a great eye! Took you no time to figure it out.
Thanks so much.

Thanks Brian, that is excellent advice! Took me a lot of "Undo's" to figure out how to insert a white space...
cheers,

Here's one that I can't figure out.
I have the Composer tag filled with LastName, FirstName (BirthYear - DeathYear) and I would like to add the LastName part of the Composer tag to the beginning of the corresponding Name tag.
So, in the Name tag going from "original_name" to "LastName: original_name"
That looks like it is going to require a more complicated expression. Is it doable?
Many thanks!
Hans

Brian, sorry, I'm a bit slow, I generated the Expression Column but where exactly do I type my Expression?
Many thanks
Hans
