Useful Regular expressions Examples:

`<FileCRC><R><^[\d\s-]*><>`	Removes starting Numbers spaces and - from SFV file name
`<R><^.{4}><>$F`	Remove first 4 characters from file name
`<R><^[\w]*><>$F`	Remove first alphanumeric characters from file name
`<R><(?i)[a-z]*\Z><>$F`	Remove last letters from file name, ignore case
`<XS><[^ ]><.>$F`	Skip First word

Other variables behavior examples:

<Artist> = Paul McCartney <Album> = Back In The U.S.

<Album> = The White Album - Disk 2, you want: The White Album - D2

There are many ways to do this now:

<R>< - Disk >< D><Album>

This would replace ' - Disk' by ' D' from Album

Or you could remove all from Album after ' -' and Extract the last number from Album:

<R>< -.*><><Album> D<X><\d+><Album>

Or get part of Album before first '-'

<X><[^-]*><Album>D<X><\d+><Album>
