Currently my title names has a lot of (Remix) that I want to change to [Remix]. I tried to following the masstagger user guide, but I couldn't get the script to return everything before (Remix). All I managed to do was set up a script that returned the value of %title% back to me. Can somebody walk me through the steps?
Here's an example of what I want to do:
Artist: Beyonce
Title: Baby Boy (Remix)
I want to reformat the title to
Title: Baby Boy [Remix]

1. Guess values from other fields
Source format: %title%
Guessing pattern: %a% (%b%)
2. Format value from other fields
Destination field name: TITLE
Formatting pattern: %a%[ '['%b%']']
3. Remove fields A and B
Actually I have another question. I have some song that are remixes, but don't have the parenthesis around them, and I want to modify them also. How do get the title of the name before the remix part.
Ex.
Title: Get Low Remix
Change to
Title: Get Low [Remix]

Maybe I'm missing something really stupid here but surely this is really simple.
1. $replace(%title%,'(Remix)',Remix,[Remix],Remix)
//Do this so that you don't get doubling of the brackets when you carry out the second action.
2. $replace(%title%,Remix,[Remix])
And to get the stuff before 'Remix', you'll need to run something like
$substr(%title%,0,$strstr(%title%,'(Remix)'))
Haven't tested these out so they may need tweaking but the logic behind them should be fairly solid.
