I know I should be able to figure this out from the help file, but just can't. I have many files that go,
<Artist> - <Title> - x of y - <Comment>
I would like the x to be selected as the track number, but just can't get the right syntax.
Can you help, please?
Thanks,
Michael

You didn't mention whether you want to rename or tag the files. Here's an example for tagging.
If all instances of X are 2 digits, then this should work:
<Artist> - <Title> - <TrackNr:2><TRASH> - <Comment>

That did it! Thanks!

Just for educational purposes, the following template will work with tracknumbers of mixed length too:
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
<Artist> - <Title> - <TrackNr> <TRASH> - <Comment>
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
It is often a good idea to avoid using the fixed length fields if there is a more generic way. This reduces the probability of errors.
