Hi,  
I was wondering if it were possible to change , to & using actions only under certain conditions.

For example, often times artists comeup as  
bob, dan, sue  
or  
bob, dan

I want to create an action so that the following scenarios will change to  
bob, dan & sue  
or  
bob & dan

Is this possible? Thanks!

Trty an action of the type "Replace with regular expression" for ARTIST  
Search string: `(.*), (.*)`  
Replace string: `$1 & $2`

The greadiness will take care that always the last comma gets replaced.
