@Sarmat89,

I tried something as a shortcut using this code and the \1 in the Replace field.
I used it also on a title that did NOT have any info in the parentheses.
Example 1) This is the title
2) This is the title ( This is the series 5)

This resulted in a the first listing using "This is the title" while the second listing used "This is the series" (the latter being the original intention.

I'm just curious if there is a way to make the code ONLY have a result IF there are ( ) present in the title such that listing one has no result.

I can isolate the listings with ( ) easily to do this, but I'm just wondering if that step can be eliminated.
