Removing "Junk" from Lyrics after Lookup Lyrics

(1/4) > >>

mvandyke:
I updated some lyrics yesterday and found that JRiver did bring in the lyrics but also brought in a lot of other "junk".  See attached file for an example. I've seen this a lot using JRiver lookup lyrics but the <span as been at the begging of the file.

I have about 300 songs that I need to remove the bad data.  I've looked that the expressions language and did a little testing with no success.

What expression could I use to remove everything from <span to the end of the file.

Thanks
Matt

I hit rename and delete which did the trick.

That removes everything from the Lyric and I would like to keep the good part of it.  I have almost 300 files that need to be touched so I would like to use an expression to clear out everything from <span to the end and keep the good part of the lyrics.

Thanks

Matt:
What's the artist, album and name for a file pulling extra data?  We'll try to clean it up.  Thanks.

mvandyke:
Please see attached CSV file for more details.  Sorted by Artist and then Album.

Oops CSV not allowed - here are a couple of print screens.

Although the lyrics appear OK at first glance they all have 5+ lines of "junk" in them that all start with <span.

Would still be great to know the way to remove this data (for potential future issues) with an expression.

Thanks
Matt
