Full Version: Ignore part of file name when guessing values

Filenames look like this

superdupertrack - thisisbull - guitarslinger - trackname.mp3
dupersupertrack - thisismorebull - guitarslingersbrother - trackname2.mp3

and I want to use Guess values from filename to extract artist and title. Normally it's not that difficult, but now I have things I dont want at all (marked with italics).

Is there something I can use in the string to ignore everything up to the second hyphen? I have until now used something like %trash% for parts I dont want and then deleted it afterwards, but there should be an easier way.

pseudo string: /ignore/ - /ignore/ - %artist% - %title%

Works great - thanks! smile.gif

By the way, where can I find "Automatically fill values from file name"?
