Delete all if there are no numbers...

Hi

I have this problem, I'm trying to organize my song collection.
Many are in this format:

03 - title.flac

others are:

author - title.flac

the delimiter is always " - "

Is it possible to have a command that intervenes by eliminating the author and that does not touch anything where there are numbers? So have

03 - title.flac
and
title.flac

Thanks

Re: Delete all if there are no numbers...

You can use the Regular Expressions rule, replacing expression "\A\D+\s+-\s+" with "" (empty).

\A matches the beginning of the text.
\D+ matches a sequence of non-numeric characters.
\s+ matches a sequence of white spaces.

It might be time for you to start learning Regular Expressions
