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 :p

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>

Just for educational purposes, the following template will work with tracknumbers of mixed length too:

Code Sample
<Artist> - <Title> - <TrackNr> <TRASH> - <Comment>


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.
