Can I remove a specified text using expression language?
« on: February 27, 2013, 12:26:54 pm »
I have several tracks that have a [Name] equal to "Artist - Title" ("Artist" is not the same on all tracks). I would like to remove the "Artist - " part of the [Name]. Is there any way I could do it using expression language?

You can update Name anywhere you edit a tag by entering:

  =listitem([Name], 1, / -/ )

Add the expression to an expression column to test it first if you want.

Thanks, works really great! :)

I didn't think to look into the List Manipulation section of the wiki, that's good to know that those functions works also with simple fields.
