Normal topicRemoving numbers from Title

Good afternoon,

I hope you’re doing well. I had a quick question and was hoping you could assist me.

I am looking to clean up a list of track titles and Artist by removing any numbers that appear at the beginning and end of the Artist or titles.

For example:

Before:

Billy Idol – White Wedding Parts 1 & 2 (Shotgun Mix) 147

17. ABBA – The Name of the Game 154

10 - Fair Control - Symphony Of Love 98

04 B B & Q Band - On The Beat 119

After:

Billy Idol – White Wedding Parts 1 & 2 (Shotgun Mix)

ABBA – The Name of the Game

Fair Control - Symphony Of Love

B B & Q Band - On The Beat

Is there an efficient method or tool you would recommend to accomplish this?

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Oops I only did Title. This one will do Artist as well.

Thank you, but I'm unable to install due to I'm running version 8.3.6. (Yate 8.3.6 is currently the newest version available.) and the File /Users/DJunpridictabull/Documents/Remove-leading-and-trailing-Numbers-from-Title-and-Artist.plist was created by version 9.0 build 12642(12478) of Yate which is newer than the current version 8.3.6 build 12477(12477).

Sorry about that. I'm testing v9.0 (coming soon) and I forgot to mark the action for 8.3.6. I've uploaded the modified zip file to the same location and cleared my cache.

Download it again from the same location. Make sure that you have v1.1 of the action after downloading. Some browsers may cache the older download. You can verify that you have the correct download by dropping the zip file in the main window's file list area while holding down the Shift key.
