Running Magic RDS 4.0.26 licensed.
Trying to manipulate text using Text Replacing & Title Case.
Incoming text example: 'Artist name here - SONG TITLE HERE [CAT60s-Rock]
Title is always preceded by ' - '
Title always has the text ' [CAT' after it, which is not to be replaced/altered.
Looking to convert just the Song Title from Uppercase to Title Case.
In Text Replacing screen, looking for what strings to put into the 'Change' and ' To' to do this.
Have tried:
Change: %REGEXP% - (.*?)\[CAT
To: %TITLECASE%
This partially works, with the result:
'Artist name hereArtist name here - Song Title Here60s-Rock[Cat60s-Rock]'
Artist is included in the newly replaced text.
Text after [CAT is included in the newly replaced text.

The response was..
Version 3 of this software is no longer developed. Magic RDS 4 will bring a possibility to put the title-case conversion command inside the Text replacing box, so the conversion may apply only to specific source or category.
So how do I apply it to the song title only?
Thanks, Rod.

The %TITLECASE% represents whole line, not a part of the text. We will see if there's a quick way how to handle your request. The version 4.0.27 will be released soon.
Once we finish the new External Text tool, any string manipulation on individual fields will be a natural part.

Ok, thankyou.
Look forward to your thoughts on how to do it.
Don't want to use Title Case on everything, just the TITLE.
Thanks, Rod
