Some of them, however, have leading track numbers such as 01 - Genesis - Invisible Touch 02 - Genesis - Tonight, Tonight, Tonight And some of them don't REM - The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite Has anyone written a routeine to get rid only leading numbers and the dash and space? TIA. Mr Lazy

This matches and removes (if it is present) a song number consisting of 1 or 2 numbers followed by a space and a dash at the start of the string. Otherwise the string is returned as is. Code: alias nosongnum return $regsubex($1-,/^(?:\d\|\d\d)\s-/,) //echo -a $nosongnum(11th Song - One For Reality) --> 11th Song - One For Reality //echo -a $nosongnum(1 - 11th Song - One For Reality) --> 11th Song - One For Reality //echo -a $nosongnum(10 - 11th Song - One For Reality) --> 11th Song - One For Reality //echo -a $nosongnum(01 - 11th Song - One For Reality) --> 11th Song - One For Reality mIRC 6.17 is required for this to work since regsubex does not exist in previous versions.
