Rename function - experts needed ... again

Dear Experts,

One more humble request from me.
How do I make the following rename change?
Replace this "-(textwithinbrackets).mp3" with ".mp3"?
I want to get rid of "-(textwithinbrackets)".

Example:
Doyle, A C_Silver Blaze_BBC_1992-(edited).mp3
>
Doyle, A C_Silver Blaze_BBC_1992.mp3

The text within brackets may vary.
I need a universal formula.

Thanks for any help in advance
Tim

Use Renamer pluging - select one or more files you want to rename and hit Ctrl+Shift+R
- Into field "Search for:" type exactly following characters:

Code: Select all

-\(.*\)
- select "Regular expression" checkbox (must be checked)
- now you can preview results in "New Name" column
- hit "Rename" button or just hit Enter
