Syntax for kid3-cli "totag" command

Hello,

I have a large collection of music in flac, wav and mp3 formats. It is structured as a folder Music, with individual folders in that of the format "Artist - Album [Catalogue Number] (year) format". Some of these folders have no ID tags on the files within them - I would like to write a script to add the tags and believe that I need to use the "totag" command to do so, however I can't figure out how to do so.

For example: folder name = "2200 - Killed By Deaf [CT004] (2015) wav" the individual files in that are "Track number - Song" e.g. "02 - Outlaw.wav"

if I cd to the folder and run kid3-cli -c "totag '%{artist} - %{album} [%{comment}] (%{year}) %{ignore}'" it doesn't work.

After this, I am unsure of how to get the track number and song out of the individual files.

If you could please let me know the syntax for doing so I would be very grateful.

Cheers, Sam
