LTrim, RTrim, Substring

maybe this would only appeal to a programmer or exprogrammer type but I’ve got a vast directory of random dj sets, bootlegs, etc and for instance the Artist fields have many in the form of 02_Armin_Van_Burin, 03_Armin_Van_Burin.

What’s the easiest way to select the zillions that follow this pattern to chop off the first three characters?

My first thought was like an LTrim command.

Now I also have some in the form of 03_Armin_Van_Burin 435333, 03_Armin_Van_Burin 565787950

It would be nice on those that follow this kinda of pattern to be able to select the “Armin_Van_Burin” in the center, like via a substring command…

Is there a way of doing the above and I just miss it?

(Or is the only answer going to be to export and work magic elsewhere?)

You could use Find and replace 10 times:

01_
02_

09_

reg expressions for Find and Replace are pencilled in not yet done.

Alternatively use Export/Import - which wouldnt take a minute.
